​​ Q. Why/ How did you end up in recruitment
I studied business and management whilst at university and after graduating I didn’t have a clue what I wanted to do. So I did the not so abnormal thing anymore and moved to Australia with no real intention of wanting to live out here permanently. After working a wide variety of jobs in Australia I decided to look for a role which I believed my skills would suit and also something that I would be passionate about. Recruitment attracted me as I love building new relationships and the opportunity to help others advance in their careers.
Q. Hobby/ interest outside of work
Outside of work I have various hobbies. I enjoy getting out on the golf course of a weekend, I keep trying to pursue surfing even though I find it extremely difficult but do love the challenge. I’m a sucker for a nice dinner and enjoy going out to new restaurants trying to find Sydney’s best spots. I like to go and explore on the weekends and get out of the city by going to beaches and national parks.
Q. Field in which you specialize
I recruit across Finance and Technology.
