I'm an ex-recruiter, lawyer and certified career coach.
I've landed multiple dream jobs in the hidden job market.
Now it's time for you to land yours.
I have navigated my own successful career changes and have helped countless women do the same.
Here's my story.
So you know about the person who will help you get a job you love.
Studied Law & Public Relations (with First Class Honours)
Because choosing one ambitious degree was never going to be enough!

Executive Recruitment

Nonprofit Leader & CEO
This brought me to the nonprofit world, where I had my second role created for me.
I saw a gap in how the nonprofit was operating and I pitched a role that didn't yet exist, and that I didn't have any previous experience doing!
Within 18 months, I was promoted to CEO.
And then I had my second baby, and everything changed once again.
The work was no longer sustainable.
I left as CEO and felt very lost. Who was I if not the ambitious career go-getter?
Little did I know that I hadn't lost my ambition, it was just being redirectedβ¦
