About me
�♀️ I have 15 years’ experience working in agency recruitment within the digital sector. Now embarking my journey in to talent management. Core skills I have picked up along the way are, talent pooling, headhunting, business development, strategic planning and account management. Plus, I have highly proficient leadership skills, managing high performing teams, with the ability to motivate and develop at all levels
�� My professional ambition has always been to be part of a business that has a powerful mission in forward thinking and growth! I add value through working with external or internal stakeholders to help them reach their goals. My leadership, growth mindset, full recruitment life cycle experience (transferable in so many ways) and passion for coaching are the qualities that have helped me to succeed
� I also run a luxury scented candle business which I started in the first lockdown. It has enabled me to use my creative skills and has fed into my passion for home décor, plus of course making every room in my house smell amazing :)
✨I only use natural products, non-toxic wax, natural essential oils and sustainable packaging, making all my products vegan.
