With over a decade of experience navigating the intricacies of the healthcare and recruitment industries, I am motivated by supporting candidates transitioning careers or stepping into their first industry roles. Armed with an extensive recruitment background and healthcare knowledge, I bring expertise and dedication to every assignment I work on. I have a passion for healthcare recruitment and the countless opportunities it presents to positively impact the lives of patients. I relish the chance to stay updated with the latest developments in healthcare technologies and therapy areas, finding deep satisfaction in witnessing the results of my hard work in action.

Holding a Bachelor of Applied Science, I find my expertise useful when analysing statistics and discussing scientific knowledge with clients and candidates alike. Additionally, my Diploma of Health Practice Management equips me with skills to implement policies and procedures, recruit healthcare-specific talent, manage personal and professional development, budgeting and forecasting, and oversee Occupational Health and Safety.

Over the years, I have honed my expertise in the biotech, pharmaceutical, and medical device industries, building strong relationships with key stakeholders. Committed to delivering results on every assignment, I take a consultative approach with both clients and candidates, ensuring all bases are covered.
