I have 10 years of experience in the tourism and hospitality industry, many of which were spent as a self-employed tour guide. During this time, I have researched and developed itineraries for tours, covering areas from food and drink to local history and culture. As part of this work, I managed relationships with various tourism agencies and local bars and restaurants, as well as updating and maintaining various social media. More recently I have spent time employed in clerical roles, where my duties have included documentation, managing customer lists, co-ordination with various internal departments, scheduling and a variety of technical tasks which afforded me training and experience using MS office and other productivity software. In my own personal time, I have experience working in my locality on various grassroots campaigns related to social issues which affect my community and I endeavor to support local social programs and entrepreneurial efforts. I am also passionate about the arts and an avid theatre goer.
