Summary
I plan and deliver innovative strategies and projects. I cover a variety of roles alongside project management, such as communications, support of team members, analysis and project reporting. I can motivate people to work effectively as a team. I have just come back from a one year long tour around the world for a year with my family. I used to work all over the world, now I would like to work closer to home, on projects or events.
