I am a passionate and results-driven professional with over 15 years of experience in event management, strategic planning, and business operations. My career has spanned diverse industries, including biotechnology, corporate events, and hospitality, where I have consistently delivered exceptional event experiences that exceed expectations. Currently, I serve as the Senior Manager of Event Program Development at AusBiotech, where I am responsible for designing and managing Australia’s premier life sciences conference program, attracting over 1500 participants annually. Throughout my career, I've gained deep expertise in managing large-scale conferences, investment events, and expos. From my time at NZBIO and AusBiotech, I developed a robust understanding of the biotechnology sector, focusing on event strategy, marketing, and stakeholder engagement. Elderberry Events and other such experience, has honed my operational skills, emphasising customer service excellence and creating immersive, memorable events. I thrive in fast-paced environments and am motivated by the opportunity to connect people through meaningful events, whether in-person or virtually. My ability to juggle multiple projects, oversee diverse teams, and deliver successful outcomes has been key to my success in both corporate and entrepreneurial ventures.
