About

I’m a BA English graduate with experience leading creative projects, organising events, and delivering communications strategies from concept to completion. Alongside my degree, I have written, directed, and produced two original theatre productions at the University of Nottingham. The first went on to receive a professional run at the Lace Market Theatre, while my most recent project has been selected for the Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2026. These projects have given me hands-on experience in project management, stakeholder communication, budgeting, marketing, and leading multidisciplinary teams under tight deadlines. During my placement as Events and Communications Officer at the University of Nottingham, I organised a faculty showcase event, developed its marketing strategy, managed communications with stakeholders, and created digital resources that continue to be used for future events. I enjoy bringing structure to complex projects while finding creative ways to engage audiences. I'm motivated by opportunities that challenge me, allow me to solve problems, and help me continue developing professionally. I thrive in collaborative environments, learn new skills quickly, and enjoy taking ownership of projects from initial idea through to successful delivery. I'm currently based in Reigate, Surrey, and I'm looking for opportunities through to December 2026 across Surrey or London in areas such as project coordination, events, communications, marketing, or other graduate roles where I can contribute, learn, and gain new experience.
