She enjoys connecting candidates with new employers and supporting both throughout the entire process, making it swift and enjoyable for everyone involved.
She lives in the South-East of England with her husband, daughter, and rather special dog who is afraid of the rain. Weekends tend to include a walk across the Ashdown Forest, in Winnie-the-Pooh country, a spin class, and a movie night.
