About

With 15+ years of working in Human Resources, specialising in Early Careers Talent, I have acquired a broad range of knowledge and experience of end-to-end recruitment and development methodologies for apprenticeships, internships and graduate programmes, across multiple industries and global regions including finance, engineering, law, investment banking, technology and investment management. I take pride in executing on complex projects whilst driving evolutionary change and delivering creative solutions. I love working in organisations who are receptive to innovative solutions and who incorporate and encourage a culture of diversity and inclusivity, both in terms of their people and their strategic approaches.
