About

I started my recruitment career in 2000 in the Sydney head office of Julia Ross; inspired and privileged to learn from such a formidable female leader in our industry. The lessons learned along the way have forged my passion and dedication to carving my own path. My recruitment journey has taken me across the globe, leading teams throughout Australia and the UK. At Verve Partners, people are our business. Verve Partners is an energetic team of specialist consultants reimagining recruitment Australia wide. With over 170 years of experience between us, we’ve found the sweet spot in talent search and want to share it. Great recruitment isn’t just about right fit; it’s about culture add. And we scout smart, dig deep and embrace diversity to grow vibrant careers, cultures and communities. Elected President of the Newcastle Business Club for 2020, and awarded the "Individual Award" for contributing to the common wheel of Newcastle in 2022. I am a passionate Novocastrian, forever working towards Newcastle being a progressive, exciting and lively city.
