PERSONAL SUMMARY
I am a creative and energetic events freelancer, currently living and working in
Central London. Over the past couple of years I have gained an extensive range of
experience working in numerous areas of business. My experience includes staff
management, event planning & production, creating event proposals, event
promotion and live event site work.
My previous jobs have enabled me to develop excellent administration skills, both in
written form and over the phone/face to face. I am extremely computer literate and
have a good working knowledge of all Microsoft applications and digital publishing
software.
I have developed a passion for events and festivals whilst working with a range of
production companies over the past 4 years. This has given me the opportunity to
manage and coordinate groups of people, negotiate with contractors and provide
general event administration and support - including handling extensive budgets, and
controlling the procurement of all items and services. I also have experience creating
and implementing marketing and promotional campaigns for events. I am capable of
working within a multi-tasking environment with numerous competing deadlines.
