Lorna’s years at Ticket Arena were defined by dedication, loyalty and a will to go the extra mile. She was a vital member of the marketing team and contributed significantly to the office culture and atmosphere. She is a good communicator, has great people skills, works well independently or as part of a team and has a broad marketing mix skill set after picking up several new responsibilities over the years at Ticket Arena. I have no hesitation to endorse her and wish her all the success for the future.
