I’ve always enjoyed roles where no two days are the same and where building strong relationships is just as important as keeping everything running smoothly. After several years working in operations and client relationship management, I can apply all of my skills within Carter Morris within a team of experts who genuinely enjoy working together in finding great HR talent for employers of choice.

For sure, one of the things I enjoy most about my role is the variety. Whether I’m supporting the team, supporting a variety of specialist HR professionals, improving processes or getting stuck into a new project, my work across so many time-zones, languages and cultures means every day brings a new set of novel challenges.

Outside of work, I’ve returned to studying again, and this focus on Social Sciences is fitting perfectly with my interest in people and the world around us. When I’m not working or studying, you’ll likely find me running around the park with my dog Gonzo the Great, having a documentary marathon with my five cats or trying to find room for my ever growing collection of vintage toys!
