Why did you decide to enter in the recruitment industry? |

Tell us about your most memorable role placement. What were the challenges and achievements? |
All of my placements have been a source of pride for me as both candidates and clients have been satisfied. However, I was particularly thrilled when I was able to secure a specialist Rheumatologist in a pharmaceutical company. This niche area is not always serviced, and I am delighted that someone with valuable on-the-ground expertise was able to apply their skills to a national and global level. |
|
What education background do you have that helps you with your current job? |
I hold a Bachelor of Science degree in Biomedical Science, and I previously worked in the Customer Service team of a large private pathology laboratory in London, before transitioning into healthcare recruitment. This background allows me to bring a unique perspective and understanding to the table. |

Why a client or candidate should work with you? |
I firmly believe that the right work environment and culture exist for everyone. As a recruitment professional, I am passionate about helping people along their career paths and I approach every candidate and client interaction with integrity, empathy, and a strong work ethic. |
