As an ambitious BA Hons graduate in Event Management, I am eager to leverage my current skillset and academic qualifications to establish a rewarding career within the marketing and events industry.

Within my previous role of event coordinator, Iobtained hands-on experienced through successfullyplanning and executing a range of both B2B and B2C events at the NEC, Birmingham. Within this role, my main duties involved end-to-end management of events, encompassing pre-event logistics, event sales, and the strategic management of various social media platforms to amplify event reach and engagement.

I have expertise in utilising design platforms like Canva to produce visually appealing content for social media platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, X (Twitter) and LinkedIn. Additionally, I am proficient at operating various social CRM databases such as Meta, WordPress, and Hootsuite to effectively schedule and manage content.

In between my professional roles, I have taken the time to gain some extra experience by participating in unpaid internships and volunteer work. In April 2022 and 2023, I became an event representative for I Love Tour for a two-week period. During this time, I successfully coordinated events for approximately 3000 students each week in Croatia.

In September 2022, I completed a 3-day marketing internship hosted by Girls in Marketing through LinkedIn. Throughout this program, I acquired fundamental skills and knowledge on how to createcompelling content and how to effectively reach the desired target audience.

These experiences have enabled me to refine a versatile skill set and gain a thorough understanding of the complexities involved in executing successful marketing and events strategies.
