This team is dedicated to the investment in the careers of its candidates; ensuring they are given the tools to succeed in a quickly changing, complex job market. I am often seen at the gym, after an intense workout, imparting some wisdom and positive energy to get my clients interview ready! Values of uncompromising hard work, resilience and a “never say die" mentality, sum up my personal brand.

Outside of work:

I am addicted to crazy interval training at the gym which builds mental and physical resilience. It also means I'm generally bouncing around; full of endorphins!

I also write creative fiction when I get a chance.
