My hobby is video. Since a young age all my childhood hobbies revolved around video editing and cartoon character development. Growing up close to my father's marketing company, Proactive, has given me a long-term unique insight into the world of marketing, communications, and event management. My strong work ethic, developed through my varied roles in the family business, is a vital component that I bring to any work or life situation. I lead by example and always give 100%. I understand the value of teamwork and good communication in ensuring that plans are implemented correctly and safely. I'm a fast learner and I enjoy new challenges.
