Summary

My current role is at 4AM, an advertising agency, as the Studio / Office Manager, with responsibility for finance and the smooth day to day running of the office. I have relished the chance to learn the machinations of a previously unfamiliar industry and I take seriously my role in supporting the financial success of the business. I am a process orientated person with a strong focus on creating systems to enhance workplace efficiency. I am very people focused and enjoy fostering a positive work environment as well as supporting the team to function at their best.
