About me
Working at Breakthrough Breast Cancer as a New Business Account Executive for over three years, and having a background in advertising sales at Channel Five; I bring a strong combination of account management, customer service, and market insights in both the commercial and charity sectors. During both roles I consistently demonstrated growth on both a personal and professional level, whilst delivering on - and exceeding - financial targets. I have excellent team working skills, and I'm as comfortable managing junior members of the team as I am coordinating with supporters, customers, senior business members and agency contacts. I am a creative, adaptable and outgoing person and I can always be relied upon to apply myself fully; always taking full advantage of any opportunity that may enable me to learn, develop, and enhance my existing skills and striving to deliver more.
