My mission as a legal recruiter is to support lawyers navigate their careers through honesty, knowledge and making the right connections. My entry to legal recruitment follows 2 years of working with HR leaders at city law firms, consulting on bespoke communication skills training programmes. Previously, I enjoyed a fast-paced London career in client services, working at top London advertising agencies up to director-level. I worked with some of the brightest minds up to executive-level, across a wide range of sectors. I love working 1-2-1 with people and have supported many ambitious individuals to take the next step of their career through individualised communication skills coaching programmes. I am detail-oriented, honest and love supporting people work through their career goals.
