Occupation
I am Self-employed.
My expat journey
Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
I would love to find a career in Vancouver where I can use my artistic background, love of working with people and office skills to go home at the end of the day satisfied that I've accomplished something significant, or at the very least, something that makes me and others happy.
I'm a Freelance Illustrator with experience working in London as an Account/Office Manager and Creative Coordinator, and as a Team Assistant to 25 people in an Energy company in Wellington, New Zealand.
I've only holidayed in Canada, but I adore the people, the wildlife, scenery, culture and the positive attitude to life.
Surrey, England, England
My career path most noticeably includes being an Account Manager/Office Manager and Creative Coordinator.
Freelance Illustrator
It's a great jumping off point for exploring other countries!

Wellington, New Zealand
I made life-long friendships, explored and immersed myself in NZ's culture, wildlife and diverse landscape.
At NZ's largest state-owned energy company, I flourished in my my role as a Receptionist and progressed to Associate within a few months. Aside from orchestrating 25 people's day-to-day work needs, specific duties included juggling meetings and strategy days, planning all aspects of business trips and assisting with the induction of new staff members. The emphasis was on multi-tasking, working off one's own initiative and responding confidently and efficiently to given situations.
The people, the stunning landscape, working amongst the Kiwis and being accepted as a friend, and member of their fantastic community.
Nothing!
