Bio

With a background in Finance and Education, I decided on a change in course and joined the STR Group 10 years ago. Having worked in different areas of the company, I found my home in Insignis and am at my best working closely with our clients' hiring managers. Focusing specifically on Electrical & Mechanical Design, Quality and Process Engineering roles, I deliver a range of recruitment solutions to clients who develop and manufacture optoelectronic and mission-critical engineering systems. Through partnering with key accounts, I help them build strong, effective engineering teams across their businesses.

Outside of work, I coach an U13 Girls' Football Team, where it's incredibly rewarding to see the players and the team grow, develop and, of course, win! I also enjoy spending time with my family, cooking, eating out, travelling and sharing new experiences together.
