Anita Ikhide

Creative and adaptable 3rd year university student with experience across healthcare, hospitality, community engagement, and support-based environments, where I have developed strong communication skills and the ability to remain composed, attentive, and professional in structured, people-focused settings. Particularly interested in how communication, organisation, and teamwork contribute to creating successful events and positive customer experiences. I have a growing interest in event coordination and hospitality roles that require strong planning, adaptability, and the ability to ensure operations run smoothly in fast-paced environments.

I am confident engaging with a wide range of people, providing excellent customer service, and adapting my communication style to suit different situations. I work in a thoughtful, detail-oriented, and collaborative manner and am eager to gain hands-on experience within the events and hospitality industry, contributing positively while developing my skills in event coordination, customer engagement, and operational support.
