Mandree Don Manuel

Currently in search of expanding my profession in the academic sector that would help me serve further through the knowledge I have gained in different paths of learning like English, Tourism, Management and Human resource Management. My career goal was to be a productive lecturer who creates positive change. I am determined to work hard to achieve all goals in a young age which I have gained through my process of academic and career development.

As an Event management expert, I further have the interest in initiating projects for developing the event industry in the country. I am seeking for new opportunities of sharing my skills with the Future leaders and experts of the industry.
