A bit about me

I like to think of myself as a recruitment success story. After studying Media and Marketing at Victoria University, I found it difficult to discover a career that I had a true passion for. During a standard registration interview with Madison, I bumped into my manager Owen and luckily he saw the recruiter in me. Shortly after I was offered a temporary role here at Madison, which has since turned into a permanent position.

Now, as a Senior Consultant in the Business Support team, I specialise in permanent Business Services recruitment across both private and public sectors. As a senior, a big focus of my role is supporting my team and manager any way I can. What I find most rewarding is building strong relationships with both candidates and clients, and the challenge of matching the right person to the right role.

If you’re interested in getting in touch, please reach out – I’d love to discuss how we can work together.
