I am an experienced, commercially focused, collaborative marketing strategist with a
sheer drive and ambition to ensure that a project succeeds and is delivered to the
highest level of quality, even under challenging deadlines. I enjoy working in a fast-
paced environment and consider myself a team player: eager to tackle new
challenges with the ability to manage others and inspire them to deliver. UK and
international experience gained across a variety of industries but am completely
passionate about food and everything to do with it! So, after just graduating from Le
Cordon Bleu French culinary school, I am now seeking a new and rewarding
opportunity in a company that I admire and believe in.
