Who, what and how

Who?

I am a freelance event manager with seven years experience in the outdoor events industry, including four years as a business owner. My work spans the sports, festival and travel sectors, often working in the UK’s most remote and wild places. I am proactive and confident, working conscientiously to high standards.

Passionate about events and working with people, I enjoy leading teams and creating experiences that offer event consumers a welcome escape from daily life. I take pride in developing clear processes and implementing them seamlessly during on-site operations.

I pride myself on creating work environments that are kind, supportive and empowering for the teams I lead.
