Freelance, self-employedSpecial Event Manager
Jan. 2009 - Sep. 2021Since 2009 I have organised a number of private special events such as birthday parties, anniversary parties, engagement parties and baby showers. I have also volunteered for a number of charity events, including JDRF and Business Chicks Australia. My largest contract work to date was for Ruby Australia in delivering their first conference in Queensland at Sea World Resort in 2016, and at Melbourne Convention & Exhibition Centre in 2017. Each conference had 450+ delegates and 30+ speakers, for more details please see links below. As a professional conference and special events manager, my philosophy is very simple: you MUST enjoy your own event! I make sure that everything is taken care of so that my client can relax and enjoy their event. This means that the client can be very involved in the process, or not at all; whichever works for you, I can adapt to suit your style. I am currently looking for my next event, so please don't hesitate to get in touch to find out how I can help you.
