This includes; exhibition venues, event and audience engagement technology, event marketing and national bodies representing clients in this sector.

Head Bartender

Sep 2006 - Feb 2014
During my time at A Bit of a Do, I was involved in ensuring that events go ahead smoothly from one part of a large catering team, which includes helping to organise the logistics of the event beforehand and afterward, and liaising with multiple clients to ensure the relationship between the two parties runs smoothly. It involves working long hours whilst maintaining a certain standard of work, and adapting to working with new teams of people on a daily basis. It has heavily furthered my interpersonal skills when meeting new clients, and dealing with multiple clients at the same time. I’ve learnt to work in a fast paced environment and to multi task to a high level.

Whilst working with Crown House Media, I worked on the iRally app from 2-4 August 2012, covering Rally Finland. This involved writing short news stories and providing live text commentary from the 18 Rally stages. Due to the nature of the work, it furthered my discipline in keeping close attention to detail, in addition to strict timekeeping.

Working with a national newspaper for the first time, my roles on the sport's desk at the Independent were enlarged from earlier experience. The main focus of the desk, in-line with breaking news, was to compile statistics and facts for the 2012 Olympic Games. Therefore, my primary role was that of a researcher; which enabled me to capitalise on earlier experience in the role.
