If you weren’t in recruitment, what would you be doing?
I would likely have pursued a career in the police – I find it super interesting & like the idea that no two days would be the same (and because I’m nosy)
What do you enjoy doing outside of work?
Spending quality time with my Family, having a spicy margarita(s) with friends, dog walks with my little Frenchie Pablo, and keeping fit in the gym/outdoors!
What’s the best piece of advice you’ve ever received?
'Listen more than you speak.'
