Hello! I'm Caroline

I am a confident, articulate event professional with excellent communication skills and an eye for detail. I am a natural leader. I believe in leading by example and taking ownership of given responsibilities, however I am also a dedicated team player with a broad focus on the bigger picture.

My strengths lay in live event management and coordination, team/staff supply & management; and event logistics and movement.

I believe there is an ideal solution for every challenge, and an ideal candidate for every role.

I am committed, reliable, and willing to travel.

THE STUFF I'M GOOD AT

LIVE EVENT MANAGEMENT

I love working on events. I am a working chameleon, a quick thinker and decision maker. I'm at my best when trusted with the the responsibility of delivering a brief to given specifications and relish solving the challenges presented in doing so. I'm lucky enough to achieve great job satisfaction when pulling off anything that initially appears logistically insane.

STAFF MANAGEMENT

I am always open and honest with my team. I believe every business is only as good as the product it sells and my product is my team. They repeatedly do the most fantastic job for me, always going the extra mile and way above and beyond tasks asked of them. They are a true asset to both themselves and to me. I believe this is due to an open relationship and mutual respect from both sides with a common goal of achieving a successful event.

EVENT LOGISTICS

I have been pigeon-holed into logistics by one of my clients because to be honest, I'm really good at it. I excel at tasks which require pinpoint coordination, movement and timing. I regularly achieve what others consider a headache and being frank, I love it. You need any movement of vehicles, people or other objects, I'm your girl.

TESTIMONIALS
