I have been part of and led hardworking, hands-on and results orientated teams for many years.I pride myself on my dedicated and passionate nature. I have a positive attitude and the ability to effectively communicate with people on all levels. I have often been praised for my keen eye for detail and my ability to ensure tight deadlines are met.For over 20 years I worked as part of a dynamic and results orientated Marketing team at the Greater Building Society. I worked as part of a small team and this often required that I managed projects independently. To achieve cut through in a highly crowded market, we continually strived to think outside of the square in our marketing strategies. The highly successful Greater Getaways "Get a Home Loan, Get a Free Holiday" and Jerry Seinfeld campaigns are a prime example of this.From 2012 to 2020 I had the privilege of working for Educational Experience in the Category Management/Merchandising and Marketing & Communications teams.
