With over 20 plus years’ experience in the tourism, hospitality and events industry, I have a breadth of knowledge across the sector. I've worked for large conference agencies, event management companies, airlines and up market hotels.

I’ve established my own events management company in 2015 and through the creation of my innovative events helped to support the growth of a multimillionpound food tourism project for Wales.

I often have my own exhibition, or I’m the guest speaker or attendee on behalf of tourism businesses at events and exhibitions across the world including Japan / Spain / Germany.

I’m a regular lecturer and guest speaker at tourism and hospitality educational events and seminars.

My top tips are:

• Trust your gut feeling - never underestimate when your instinct is telling you something is not right or it’s a good decision.
• Don’t be afraid to ask for help!
• Truly believe in yourself, some days won’t be easy, but things have a way of working out in the end!
