Our bright Events star, Kayla >>> has something to say...
>>>
Right up until matric, I had no idea what I wanted to do.
Then one day, a friend's mum suggested hospitality. I discovered events were a big part of the degree and quickly realised I'd found my thing.
Today, I'm an Event Manager at HISIDE, and I love that no two days are the same.
One day I'm planning every detail behind a laptop. The next, I'm on site, meeting clients, solving problems, and watching months of planning come to life.
And I think that's what I love most: I don't just get to plan events. I get to experience them.
I'm also the youngest person on the HISIDE team, so I bring a slightly different perspective, fresh ideas, a different way of thinking, and probably a healthy amount of energy. 😄
But I'm also a little obsessed with the details.
Because an event can be delivered perfectly on paper and still not be memorable.
It's the small things that make the difference.
The things people weren't expecting. The things that make them think, “Wow, they really thought of everything.”
That's what I'm looking for.
When I'm not working...
You'll probably find me at the beach, walking my dogs, playing golf or spending time with family.
I love cooking, especially when there's someone to cook for, and I'm definitely the adventurous type. I like trying new things, seeing new places and getting out of my comfort zone.
I guess that's why events suit me so well:
New people. New places. New challenges. Never quite the same day twice.
So, there you have it.
I'm Kayla, and I'm excited to share a little more of what happens behind the scenes at HISIDE and what I'm learning along the way.
