Experience:
As founding member and sponsorship officer for OrthoSoc, Transplant & Vascular, my exposure to sponsor relations, grant applications and funding management prepares me well in acquiring highly reputable sponsors and working closely with Treasurer in ensuring an events’ financial sustainability, security and growth. iPRAS’ event success and execution of exciting new ideas depend on financial access and my extensive research into grant availability and acquisition of high-quality sponsors will allow iPRAS to build stable monetary foundations for our upcoming educational, research and outreach initiatives. As part of SurgSoc’s International Trauma Committee and CardioSoc’s National Conference Organising Committee, my familiarity with the essence of an impressive sponsorship prospectus involving patrons’ credentials, sponsorship benefits, usage and packages, will prove invaluable in securing abundant funding for our educational endeavours.
