“??? ???? ??? ?? ?? ????? ???? ?? ?? ???? ???? ??? ??.” ????? ????
With over 8 years experience ranging from budgeting, event organisation and global team management for varied events such as conferences, award ceremonies, roundtables, briefings, dinners and exhibitions on a global scale.
I am a confidant, reliable and responsible events producer always looking for new opportunities in this fast and ever changing industry. Since COVID 19 has had such an effect on the events world it has thrown live events in turmoil but taking on a digital programme has opened up new ventures and platforms for growth and learning.
As a fully qualified APM project manager I have spent the last 5 years freelancing with various clients implementing an agile working format. I have worked with Stylist Live, The Convention, Seafood Festival and the London Olympics 2012. I have also managed multiple weddings from conception to happy couple.
I have recently become a freelance project manager, please reach out if you are looking for someone with my expertise.
