About our Guest
Zubee is the founder of Access My Events, founded in September 2018. She started working in the hospitality industry and then moved on to work and volunteer for a number of different charities and an online disability lifestyle magazine, all of which helped her develop as a person, gain more confidence and skills to develop further in her career. She has over 10 years of volunteering experience but like many disabled people, she found it hard to find a job in the events industry so she decided to take the leap and start her own business.
