Summary

As a recent Theatre graduate from the University of York, I bring a fresh, creative, and enthusiastic approach backed by a strong academic foundation and hands-on experience across marketing and talent management. My background includes successfully leading social media campaigns, developing engaging content, and executing marketing strategies that significantly boosted audience engagement and ticket sales for university theatre productions.


In addition to my marketing expertise, my recent role in talent management has allowed me to build valuable skills in model booking, client coordination, and relationship management. I thrived in a fast-paced environment, adapting quickly to shifting priorities, managing schedules, and ensuring seamless communication between talent, clients, and agencies. This experience deepened my understanding of the entertainment and creative industries and reinforced my passion for working with talent and building strong professional networks.
