RESUME

Skills

I'm a charismatic, confident individual who loves working with people; whether I am organising an event, promoting a brand or behind a microphone  I am happiest when I am chatting and making people smile. You can count on me to fill the workplace with positive energy and to inspire others to do the same. I love working in the creative industry as nothing beats creating something; be it an interview, event or a news piece. I am keen to branch out and explore other platforms for content to live on, while still delivering a smile to an audience.

​

INVNCBL 

I have hosted four events a year for the race organisers; going through safety briefings, taking stage photos and interviewing members of the crowd for the 10k obstacle course. It's truly an honour to be answered back time and time again.
