Karien Claassens

I’m a newly graduate who is passionate about food, wine and hospitality. In my 3rd year of studies, I specialized in event management and coordination, giving me another passion to focus on and hopefully make a career of. I’m hardworking, neat, organized and a fast learner.

I have worked at a fine dining restaurant, 5 star hotel and a well known wine estate. In between my placements, I’ve helped at events such as the Sarie Christmas dinner and a Mercedez Benz launch.
