I also served as Assistant Producer for LiF, working closely with the founder, Dr. Mark Smith, to support the vision and logistics of the production.

My current role as a bar supervisor allows me to expand my leadership skills, working on event planning and partnerships to increase footfall, particularly by collaborating with student events companies.

During my time at Liverpool John Moores University, I developed a strong passion for production management and event coordination.
