Why did you decide to enter in the recruitment industry? |
I was drawn to the recruitment industry as it offered a dynamic and challenging environment where I could utilise my exceptional customer service skills to achieve tangible results every day. The unpredictable nature of the industry meant that no two days were the same, which added an extra layer of excitement to my job. |

What was it about healthcare that appealed to you? |
Working in the healthcare industry allowed me to make a real impact on people's lives, and that's what I find the most fulfilling. The opportunity to be a part of a meaningful and purposeful work environment, where I can connect with individuals and help them to achieve their goals, is something that motivates me daily. |

Tell us about your most memorable role placement. What were the challenges and achievements? |
One of my most memorable placements was when I took on a supply chain management role, even though my experience was primarily in administrative positions. I took the initiative to expand my skillset and meet the client's needs. It was a challenging experience, but I was able to successfully place the perfect candidates for both the supply chain management and executive assistant positions, who are still excelling in their roles today. |
What education background do you have that helps you with your current job? |
Although my degree is in Publishing Media, it helped me develop valuable people skills, presentation abilities, and organisational skills that I use every day in my current role. The diverse range of skills that I developed during my studies has proved to be highly beneficial to my recruitment work. |

While financial results are essential, my primary focus is always the best interest of my clients and candidates. I am dedicated to providing the tools and resources necessary for candidates to secure the right job for them and for clients to find the perfect candidate for their business needs. Building a trusted and long-lasting relationship with clients and candidates is something I take pride in. |
