I'm a personable and professional Technical Recruiter with experience across London and the Middle East.

Since graduating from university with a first-class degree, I started my recruitment journey working for a leading boutique consultancy in London. I successfully recruited high volume temp and interim Head Office roles for companies in the Legal, Financial Services and IT sectors across London. 

After this, I joined the UK's largest shipping firm, ABP who were undergoing a digital transformation program. My role here as HR Advisor saw me on board several executive candidates for the business, manage recruitment across all offices in the UK ( more than 15) and provide high-level data and insights to senior management to help with the future state of the Head Office. Once this contract ended, I embarked on an amazing solo trip across Asia for 8 months before deciding to move to Dubai to join global agency, Robert Walters. 

The last 4 years in Dubai has seen me position myself as a specialist and expert in technical recruitment across the Middle East (UAE, KSA, Bahrain , Kuwait, Qatar, Egypt, Jordan). I've been promoted 3 times since joining and consistently exceed quarterly targets. 

Completed Bachelor's degree in Digital Marketing at London Metropolitan University in 2013, obtained a First-class Honours.
