About me

I am a trilingual, enthusiastic, proactive, creative, organised, and very detailed professional who strives to work for a values-driven organisation, in a friendly, supportive and honest environment, alongside teams that possess integrity, and where people are passionate about the same cause and work together towards the same goals.

During my years working in hospitality, I have managed and trained front-of-house teams, planned and run events, such as dinners, conferences and exhibitions, and liaised with back-of-house, head office and suppliers. Therefore, my ability to communicate both internally and externally increased exponentially. During my years in recruitment, I worked in both start-ups and established corporate environments using different systems and collaborating with other departments, such as HR, Compliance and Finance, demonstrating my coordination skills.

In my prior experience interacting with colleagues and external clients/customers, I have always had to deal with a high number of enquiries face to face and via email and/or phone, and as such I am proficient at managing these tasks, understanding concerns, and conveying the desires of various parties effectively into solutions.

Each of the hospitality, start-up and corporate environments can be fast-moving sectors, where long hours to deliver various targets and meet deadlines, are commonplace; dealing with this challenge, whilst one develops a network to communicate effectively with counterparties can be difficult, and I think it is one which I have met in my previous experience. Meeting these inherent challenges requires quick learning, innovation, strategic thinking, and the ability to work under pressure and multi-task a set of established priorities to effectively solve problems.

I have been volunteering for several charities helping them grow their social media accounts, producing collaterals and supporting fundraising teams, and realised that many jobs rotated around Marketing.

Thanks to my curiosity, creativity and the fact that I am a fast learner, I started my first role as Assistant Marketing Manager at Galvin Restaurants where I was involved in website and social media management of five accounts, promotions management, content and collaterals creation and communication.

I then joined Cooper Lomaz Recruitment where I got promoted to Marketing Manager. I dealt with all aspects and projects, from overseeing website and social media accounts to planning and delivering campaigns, organising internal awards, producing reports via Google Analytics and social media insights, managing budget and developing relationships with journalists. My main focus was to produce informative and creative content such as articles, blogs, newsletters, briefings and case studies to maintain both external and internal communication and grow digital presence. Thinking holistically was therefore a must.

While looking for a full-time role, I freelanced for Havn, a start-up platform, coordinating an international team of designers for the creation of marketing material for our social media channels, newsletters and mailers.

Currently, I am the Marketing & Events Manager at José Pizarro, promoting four venues and managing the marketing budget. Working in hospitality and managing different sites, I have to come up with creative ideas about how to get the word out to attract new customers and retain our lovely regulars.

My experiences as Manager increased both my confidence and professionalism; I am certain I can lead projects and excited to coordinate them working harmoniously with colleagues and with a range of stakeholders at all levels.
