About

Hey there! I’m an operations and customer service powerhouse with a unique blend of analytical rigor and hands-on leadership—perfect for remote teams looking to elevate efficiency and delight customers. I hold an Master's degree in International Security & Development and a Bachelor's degree in History & Politics, but my real expertise comes from rolling up my sleeves in fast-paced environments and transforming chaos into smooth, data-backed processes.

As Bar Manager for a high-volume hospitality group operating across multiple sites in South Wales, I led daily operations and large-scale events drawing tens of thousands of visitors, such as major regional airshows. I implemented a custom integration between Square POS and BevSpot that drastically reduced inventory discrepancies and curbed over-ordering, while my on-the-ground leadership consistently drove five-star customer experiences. I also developed real-time Excel dashboards and inventory trackers to help senior leadership make quick, data-informed decisions—keeping us on track to meet profitability targets month after month.

Previously, I worked as a Venue Supervisor for a large student union in a UK university, where I managed events of up to 500 attendees and coordinated diverse teams—security, AV, catering, and university partners—to deliver seamless experiences. I created standardized reporting tools and handover systems that were adopted across all departments.

In a university admissions office, I remotely processed high volumes of student applications with 100% accuracy during peak enrolment periods. Interpreting and inputting data at speed and with precision is one of my key strengths.

I’m ILM Level 3 Award–certified in Leadership & Management and trained in First Aid, thriving under pressure and keeping teams energized. My remote-ready toolkit includes advanced Excel modelling, Google Workspace, Asana, CRM platforms, and POS integrations. I’m passionate about using data to drive strategy and empowering global teams to exceed expectations.
