My recruitment experience in the UK spans 19 years, during which I have specialised as an Executive Search Consultant with a strong focus on inclusive and safer recruitment, particularly in the areas of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion (DEI), and Neuroinclusion.

I primarily work with charities and purpose-driven organisations, including B Corp Certified organisations, that are committed to building diverse leadership teams and enhancing recruitment processes to embed DEI principles. My work is dedicated to helping these organisations achieve positive social impact by recruiting talented leaders from diverse backgrounds. I also deliver recruitment transformation projects to enhance efficiency, improve candidate experience, and build capability within hiring teams.

My entrepreneurial journey began with launching a Talent Assessment Hub  enabling recruiters and HR professionals to find assessments easily. The hub hosts >400 assessments.

HRM University Student

Midlife hit me and instead of having a crisis I had a change of career! I've made the switch from a clinical role in the NHS to exploring a new pathway in Human Resources. Currently, I am in my 2nd yr of a bachelor's degree in Human Resources Management at Birmingham City University. 

My career passions are focused on diversity, equity and inclusion as well as age positivity and neuroinclusivity in multi-generational working environments. The main career dream I hope to achieve is to be a HR leader who genuinely cares about their team.
