MAJOR EVENTS
Since 2022, I took charge of chasing my goal of working at mainstream concerts. It started with participating at NZ Events’ Association’s mentorship program, that opened doors for me in learning, and growing my knowledge of working in events, and specifically within major events. I’ve had the opportunity of being involved in various capacities at different events, and experienced some great highlights.
These include:
Working at Hidden Valley has given me true growth, from being in charge of wristbanding patrons at a gate, to being a gate manager in year 2, and being in charge of a team of 14 staff members.
Working all types of music events from headline shows to major festivals to smaller warehouse shows.

Since 2017, my day job has been producing conferences. Putting together strong agendas with stellar speaker line-ups. I worked on conferences for different industries, but for a significant amount of time, I worked heavily on public sector and government events. I’ve had many career highlights in producing conferences in this time.
These include:
As the Event Manager for NZTech I worked on the Tech21 event which was the launch of TechWeek 2021. Working on this Summit gave me a taste of what I’ve always wanted to work towards – concerts. Kings was the opening act for the event, and I was successful in confirming him and working with his team to ensure his set was well executed.
I was also involved in leading the production and delivery of Techweek TV in 2022. I single-handedly developed the weeklong programme and delivered the production.
I developed a programme that sold out an inaugural conference that was introduced to the market in 2018, the STEAM Education Summit
