I am a BA (Hons) Media and Communications student, specialising in Events and Exhibitions at Birmingham City University. I have now graduated with a 2:1 and I am currently seeking a job in the events industry.
|
Throughout my time at university I have managed and produced 3 events which has allowed me to develop my personal and professional skills. The events I've produced include:
- Mini Food Festival Charity Event: raising money for Action Against Hunger (Group work) - An Educational Seminar for Hannah Molloy, Channel 4's Puppy School Behaviour Expert, who runs 'The Dog Education Project' (Group work) - I am currently producing and managing a Music Gig where up and coming artists are performing (Individual) As well as producing events at university I have completed work placements with 5 different event companies, helping them plan and produce their events. Working within the industry has allowed me to develop and practice skills including creating venue proposals, inputting client data into the companies database and liaising with clients. A transferrable skill which I can take with me in my future career is my photography work. This is a useful skill as taking professional photographs involves patience and attention to detail which is key within the events industry. |

Networking Event- Ours Restaurant
This was the networking event I attended during my work placement at Evolve Events. It has allowed me to network and connect with other event industry professionals as well as photographers. I really enjoyed this experience and the set up was amazing. I will definitely be attending as many networking events as I can to boost my confidence and develop my interpersonal skills further.
