Kirstie Malone

I’m a dedicated and adaptable professional who thrives in both collaborative team environments and independent roles. Known for staying calm under pressure and delivering high‑quality work to tight deadlines, I bring a blend of creativity, efficiency, and a strong eye for detail to every project. I’m always looking for ways to streamline processes, elevate ideas, and produce work I can be proud of, consistently striving to achieve the best possible outcome.

In my current role I have received 5 special recognition awards for pulling together presentations for senior leaders as well as my edit producer skills and playing a key role, and sometimes leading, in important events/markets.
