Event Management

about me.

a highly organised, quick-learning, problem-solving, strategic thinker with a positive attitude and endless energy for working with people.

— Rebecca Lane, Bicycle Network

“Sam supported Bicycle Network through two of our busiest and most challenging event periods, providing exceptional planning and event management support. Sam’s ability to come into a project, understand the operating environment, build relationships and take meaningful action that quickly gets results is what sets her apart as one of the sharpest team members I’ve had the pleasure of working with. You also know that when Sam is on it, the outcome will be more brilliant and more cohesive than you imagined as her commitment to quality outcomes is unwavering.”

Peaks Challenge 2017

During Bicycle Networks busiest event period I came on board to help them deliver Peaks Challenge 2017. On Sunday 5 November 2017 over 300 riders tackled the final 250km Peaks Challenge Cradle Mountain Tasmania ride with the hope of becoming Peaks Challenge finishers.

The logistics that come with such an event are demanding, but it was the perfect day and an extremely successful event!

 
Event Manager Australia | Freelance | Australia

Quick Bio.

I am hardworking and professional with an enthusiastic approach to my work. Dedicated to implementing best practices I have over 15 years of experience in event management working across multiple diverse and demanding industries including radio, exhibitions, conferences, awards, gala dinners, weddings, and outdoor sporting events.

This experience has allowed me to establish an extensive skillset across multiple systems and the ability to remain highly professional, calm, and effective under immense pressure.

…and as this photo shows, it doesn’t matter how busy you are or how stressful an event might be. If one of your event participants needs you to kneel on the floor and comfort them after just finishing one hell of a race…you do it!
