She is deeply committed to understanding the communities each organisation serves and to representing those stories and needs through every stage of the search process.

What is important to you?

Bringing constant value to everyone in my life is extremely important to me – This includes my clients, candidates, colleagues, family, friends and community.

What is something quirky about you?

Every morning when I wake up I make a point of saying ‘good morning’ out loud to myself in the mirror with a huge smile on my face. It always puts me in a good mood and sets my day up for positivity and success.

What is it about the recruitment industry that motivates you?

I’ve always loved that you get out what you put in and at the end of the day, it all comes down to taking the time to hear what’s being said, growing your knowledge and investing in developing your relationships and connections with everyone you work with, Clients, Candidates and Colleagues.

My teammates would describe me as…

The eternal optimist.
