  During my four years at university I was lucky enough to secure a casual role in the Entertainments Department of the Student's Union. The department was responsible for organising entertainment for students including regular comedy nights, live bands, overseas trips, annual functions and balls and charitable events. I regularly assisted with the planning and running of events, supervision of the box office and escorted students on overseas trips.
