About me
I am a seasoned event professional with solid experience in different areas of the entertainment & events industry. Previous experience gained working in site management and supervision roles have given me an excellent understanding of festivals, live shows and exhibitions, as well as experience in the management of crews large and small and of varying degrees of skill from student volunteers to seasoned veterans.Past reoccurring roles have given me regular experience with budgeting, logistics and client management. Whilst early and more recent roles have given me a solid grounding in lighting, sound, AV and power distribution and the installations of these aspects, as well as allowing me to hone my problem solving abilities using innovate ideas, resourcefulness and a determined mind-set.
My strong belief in self-development and training as furnished me with an event management diploma as well an IOSH managing safely certificate and I wherever possible attend trade shows and research training courses continually looking for avenues to self-invest and improve. This view of training and personal growth as guided me in mentoring students and crew in past roles which has given them the confidence and skills to secure future roles in the industry.
To outline my career goals I am searching for a role where I have the opportunity to be part of a team that learns and develops, to attain a position in a forward moving company where I will be able to grow and sharpen my talents. I can assure you that my passion, experience, and work ethic to date make me an excellent candidate.
