About

I’m a relationship-focused recruiter with deep experience in engineering and manufacturing. I work closely with businesses to understand their unique environments and connect them with high-performing talent that fits both the role and the culture. My approach is thoughtful and people-centred. I value long-term partnerships and believe the best outcomes come from genuinely understanding what drives both clients and candidates. While continuing to recruit across technical and operational roles, I’m also expanding into coaching — supporting individuals through career transitions and professional growth. It’s a natural extension of my work: helping people find clarity, direction, and confidence in their next step. If you're hiring skilled professionals, exploring your own career shift, or building a more aligned future, I’d be glad to connect
