Highlights:During my time at Lucid PR, I organised the Highlands and Islands Press Ball and Media Awards. The event brings together 300 people from the media in the Highlands of Scotland and beyond, as well as a range of corporate companies. The night includes a pre-dinner cocktail reception, an awards ceremony, dinner for all 300 guests, live entertainment and fundraising activities. I have organised the event, along with the Chairman of the awards, for the past two years.

Goal:I hope to pursue a career in public relations, specifically with a fashion designer, a magazine or a fashion PR agency. As I now have two years experience of working in PR and digital marketing, I would like to progress to the next level in the industry.
