I am a highly motivated events and media graduate with a track record of coordinating inclusive events for people with additional needs. I led event support at Believe in Yourself, Clowns Care, making videos for these organisations attracting more participants/volunteers. When I worked in hospitality, I was greeting guests, guiding and liaising with suppliers. These roles sharpened my communication, multitasking, and customer-service skills. Since moving to the UK I have expanded into hospitality and on-site event support, redesigned kid's menus with QR gamification and created promotional videos to attract customers to the restaurant I worked in. I've finished MSc in Global Event Management at Oxford Brookes and look forward to applying creative problem-solving and cross-cultural teamwork in future projects.
