I have organised my own events and collaborated with some of the best when it comes to event concept and planning. I have been lucky enough to work with some great teams across the music and dance spectrum. I am confident when heading teams and coordinating with different people to ensure an altogether superb event!

suck uk 10 year party | june 2010
In May this year I was asked to take the reins on the organisation of Suck UK’s 10year party. The brief was simple – ‘lets have a great party to celebrate 10 years of Suck UK’
For this event I could offer; full time commitment to a seminal event, experience of event planning, flexibility that was needed for new and exciting ideas and the energy to deliver for a company that deserved to celebrate in style.
Thank you to the fantastic Dominc Burke for his photos.

white lodge royal gala | may 2009
In May 2009 The Royal Ballet School entered the much anticipated 3rd and final phase of the White Lodge Redevelopment appeal. To celebrate this fantastic achievement a Royal Gala was held in honor of its generous donors and hosted by HRH The Prince of Wales.
More than 200 guests attended the celebration and were lucky enough to see some of history’s finest ballet dancers, including Dame Antoinette Sibley and Darcy Bussell CBE, plus a peek at the future’s brightest stars, the students of The Royal Ballet School.
This event demanded flexibility; I worked with a small team to achieve a historical event. We had strict time restrictions, no budget and lots of ballet dancers to look after. I needed to turn my hand to design, planning and guest management. This event was my swan song, my final farewell and something we could all be proud of. It was a magical event.
