Whilst working for the Edinburgh Capitals I have been responsible for main social media accounts of the team such as instagram whilst also running the Edinburgh Capitals Cheerleaders twitter, instagram and snapchat accounts. As well as this I assist with arranging promotional visits and events for the team, for example the Meadows Festival 2016 and university campus visits.During the 2015/16 season I assisted with the 'Caps Student Night' where we promoted £5 tickets throughout different universities for a specific game which saw a 14% increase in ticket sales for that match night. I have also undertook the job of enhancing the match night experience by introducing the 'Edinburgh Capitals Cheerleaders' who perform every game night and assist with promotional activities. This has proved extremely popular with the fan base.

Upon graduating I began the role of Events Intern at Skills Development Scotland. This is a challenging, engaging and most importantly educational role. Whilst my day to day tasks include inputting all events that SDS are involved in onto our systems and managing event material requests (for example, stands and collateral), I have also been charged with the handling of my own events. I am extremely grateful to have been given the responsibility I have as I feel it has already made me more confident in my own skill set as well as enhanced my knowledge of the event industry and events within the public sector.

During my 3rd year of university, studying Festival and Event Management, I undertook a 6 month Work Based Learning Placement at Cameron House Hotel. I started as a Food and Beverage Assistant within the Meetings and Events Department but quickly progressed to Supervisor where I was responsible from running events such as small dinners and meetings whilst also assisting with larger scale events like major conferences for well known companies and weddings for over 150 guests. This role has enhanced my operational event experience which I have been able to utilise within different aspects of my presents roles.
