About

I am a third-year student studying Event Management at Coventry University. I am a determined young woman driven with passion in everything I do. Business studies have always been my passion, and I desire to know more about operations and logistics. I am very organised and pay attention to detail. I have a sense of responsibility and have had leadership roles that expanded my skill set. I relate well with people thus, leading to a client-centred goal.
