About

I've gone from studying marine biology to working in TV and film in Bangkok, running parking operations in NZ to managing airline transport tenders globally, and most recently, recruitment. Not the most obvious path, but if there's a throughline, it's people. Seeing what sparks curiosity, that "aha!" moment, and letting meaningful connections form themselves. That last chapter had me working with specialists in Cybersecurity and Financial Services across the UK and EU, building relationships rather than filling roles. Right now I'm somewhere between chapters: exploring an industry that's new to me, asking questions, learning what people actually need.
