My Path
Originally from the UK, I studied Criminology at University, although my true passion always lay in connecting and building relationships with people. After graduation, I ventured into student lettings and FMCG promotions, representing global brands across the UK. Eventually, I settled in Manchester, working in Real Estate, where I focused on selling apartments and development opportunities within the region.
In 2015, I came to Australia and quickly found friends in the recruitment field who introduced me to a new path, allowing me to channel my passion for connecting with people. Six years later, I still find immense joy and fulfillment from working in recruitment, just as I did from the day I started
My Passions
Professionally, my passion lies within the marketing sphere, where I like staying up to date with the ever-evolving digital landscape and innovative technologies.
I enjoy getting to know candidates, their passions, and their motivations so I can truly take a holistic and empathetic approach to securing their dream roles. I find great satisfaction in working with organisations and businesses that are committed to Diversity and Inclusion, as well as balancing purpose and profit.
Outside of work, I enjoy walking everywhere while listening to podcasts. I also love the usual activities like going to the gym and indulging in a glass of wine (not at the same time). I have a penchant for attending shows, gigs, and exhibitions. Currently, I am on a discovery journey, trying out as many new things as possible. Recently, I discovered joy in practicing Yoga, Pilates, engaging in DIY Projects, and even creating art, though I humbly admit it might be terrible.

My Value

… and also this
Interestingly, I have never tried baked beans or ketchup, and I have no intention of doing so. As a kid, I used to compete in fencing – the sword kind, not the Bunnings kind.
