Summary

An engaging and motivated relationship manager with significant client-facing experience gained in the Australia/APAC region across Talent Acquisition, Technology, Banking & Financial Services, and Telecommunications industries. With highly developed stakeholder management, negotiation, and problem-solving expertise, I have a deep understanding of recruitment “best practice” within the Australian and Asia-Pacific region as gained in dynamic agency and in-house / RPO environments. I pride myself on being a friendly, professional, and confident personality who thrives under pressure. Additionally, I also have strong personal and professional values and take immense pride in assisting others. Importantly, I am open-minded, willing to embrace change and learn new skills.
