Message

At AB Group Legal & Real Estate, I lead recruitment across the UK legal market, working with Legal 100 and US law firms as well as regional practices. I’ve won and onboarded new clients, managed recruitment partnerships, and delivered hires across Paralegal, Associate and Senior Associate levels.

At European Recruitment, I built specialist recruitment experience across technology, delivering permanent and contract searches for global technology leaders and high-growth start-ups. I was named Recruiter of the Year in my final full year there and secured the Largest Contract Deal of the Year.

I also founded The Career Collective, an independent career resource brand with practical CV, LinkedIn, interview and job-search tools. Earlier in my career, I supported merchandising teams at Icon Live and New Look.
