What were you doing before you joined Douglas Scott Legal Recruitment?
I just completed my law degree at Edge Hill University and was working in the sales department of a call center in the energy sector.
What are you most looking forward to in your new role?
I am most looking forward to a new opportunity and adventure, hitting the ground running in a new career and the opportunities to progress up the ladder with Douglas Scott. I also love the idea of helping people discover new opportunities for themselves in their careers.
If you weren’t in recruitment what would you be doing?
I would most likely be pursuing my law degree down the more traditional route of further study with an LPC and becoming a solicitor.
Tell us something that people might not know about you?
I love true crime documentaries and it scares my boyfriend to no end how calm I am when I watch them! I suppose that is where the love of the legal industry comes from.
