About Me
I have a very passionate interest in music and take great pleasure from working as an Event Manager and in other related roles at music events. In addition I am also an experienced PR proffesional, having worked in both a music PR and other corporate PR environments.
My passion for organising events started at a very early age, when I used to perform shows for my family on a regular basis. Since then my passion has increased and I can now boast experience working on a large variety of events, which include fashion shows, music festivals, designers fairs, weddings, conferences, corporate, club nights, banqueting events and warehouse party’s amongst many others.
I also have a degree in Managing Cultural and Major Events, from which I graduated in 2005.
