Senior Event Manager

Summary

I have over 11 years of experience in event and project management, where I've led complex projects and consistently delivered great results. My strengths include strategic planning, team leadership, and building strong client relationships. Most recently, I worked as a Project Coordinator for Dell Technologies Forum, where I successfully adapted global strategies for local markets, generated significant leads, and managed large-scale events smoothly.

I'm a strategic thinker who's also hands-on, able to handle challenges while staying focused on delivering value. My communication and leadership skills have helped me improve efficiency, boost customer satisfaction, and ensure projects are completed successfully. As I look to take the next step in my career, I'm excited to bring my skills in strategic planning, leadership, and innovation to a forward-thinking organization.
