With a degree in marketing and a keen interest in employment law, I have found my passion in the recruitment industry, where I can blend my expertise with a desire to make a meaningful impact. My career began in the UK, where I gained valuable experience working in talent acquisition for large corporate companies. This experience provided a solid foundation for my role at a pharmaceutical company in Sydney, marking my first foray into the biotechnology sector. Here, I discovered the profound satisfaction of contributing to a company that gives back to patients and collaborating with talented professionals.

Currently, I am part of HPG in Sydney, where I thrive in a company culture that values patient impact and innovation. I am dedicated to sourcing top talent to ensure life-saving products reach those in need and placing influential leaders who drive business success. My commitment to making a difference is evident in every aspect of my work, from building strong client relationships to identifying and nurturing potential in candidates.

At HPG, I am not just a recruiter but a partner in progress, ensuring the right talent is in place to achieve extraordinary outcomes.
