With a strong background in Real Estate and over four years of industry experience, I’ve recently joined Innovative Talent Group as a Recruitment & Marketing Specialist. My journey into recruitment was a natural progression, combining my passion for people, property, and building lasting professional relationships.

I take pride in my ability to understand both clients and candidates, not just the technical requirements of a role, but also the nuances of team fit, culture, and long-term goals, which I believe are just as important.

My network continues to grow through genuine connections, tailored support, and a no-fluff, honest approach to both clients and candidates.

If you’re an employer seeking support with recruitment, keen to understand current market insights, or want a second opinion on hiring strategy, I’d love to be your sounding board.
Likewise, if you’re a candidate ready for a new chapter, let’s connect and talk about your next move.

How do you like to spend your time outside of work?
