Graduate - Mia Clarke

About:

I am conscientious and hardworking and have the ability to work independently in a multi-tasking environment and adapt to changes effectively. Working as a logistic coordinator required a high level of attention to detail which is crucial in the events industry. Having lots of experience in volunteering enables me to have great communication skills. I am looking to apply my knowledge and gain further experience in events.
