A Board-level Executive Assistant with a penchant for Barbour clothing, Leica & Hasselblad for photography, and of course Nintendo, I bring over 17 years of diverse experience in customer-facing roles, including retail and the financial services sector. Transitioning to administration and clerical work, I've honed skills in service excellence, time management, and data analysis for pivotal projects.During my tenure at Skipton Building Society, I've developed expertise in project management, played a key role in organizing strategic events with over 300 delegates, and executed efficient diary planning for senior leaders. Proficient in interpreting data and working at a rapid pace, I've delivered timely results and reported to key stakeholders through various communication channels.My professional journey spans two companies: Booths and Skipton Building Society. Holding a degree in History and Politics, my dissertation focused on the Rise of Meiji Japan in the Tokyo Bay area. Post-university, I pursued two additional qualifications: Business Administrator Apprenticeship and Event Assistant Apprenticeship.Beyond the workplace, I actively engage with the PA Hub, a premier networking group for administrative professionals across the North of England. This involvement has provided networking opportunities, access to renowned speakers and trainers, and the chance to connect with like-minded peers, culminating in being a PA Hub finalist in 2019.
