• Thrives in a fast-paced environment and enjoys working autonomously, managing multiple projects and priorities with confidence and composure.
• Balances creativity and process, bringing fresh ideas to event design while maintaining strong attention to detail and adherence to processes.
• Remains calm under pressure, with the ability to problem-solve and adapt quickly to changing circumstances.
• Communicates with confidence and clarity, building strong relationships with diverse stakeholders.
