My Background
I am a specialist recruitment consultant focusing on interim, temporary and fixed-term contract BD, Marketing & Communications roles within professional services. I mainly cover the legal sector but also recruit into accountancy, property and consultancy firms.
I first joined Ambition in 2005, starting out as a consultant before being promoted to a senior consultant role and then to divisional manager of the BD, Marketing & Communications team.
After returning from maternity leave I decided to leave management and focus solely on recruiting and have had the role of Principal Consultant ever since. Prior to joining Ambition I spent a few years in Australia working for a real estate agency before later transferring into a recruitment role for the property sector.
Recent Placements
Recent placements include:
- 12 month FTC senior BDM manager for mid-tier law firm
- 9 month Publications Manager for specialist boutique law firm
- 12 month Senior BD Executive for leading US law firm
- CRM/Digital Executive temp roles

- Leading global property company Internal Communications Executive on a mid term contract
Outside of work
I enjoy spending time with family and friends, going on long walks and watching live music. I like to go running from time to time in order to stay fit and work off my other passion - cooking!
