Tell us about your career path so far.

Before beginning my career in finance recruitment at Spencer Clarke Group, I worked as a chef for a restaurant in Grasmere. I was looking for a change and moved to New Zealand for 6 months where I was a cocktail bartender. 

While I was out there, I saw the opportunity at Spencer Clarke Group and knew I had to take it, so I made the choice to move back home and pursue a career in recruitment. I'm so glad I did! 

How would your colleagues describe you?

I think they would describe me as adaptable, stylish and fun.

Where are we most likely to find you outside of work?

Outside of work I am an avid music fan and love to go to gigs and festivals. However, in the week I can be found at the driving range or online streaming new artists looking for gold.

Tell us something we’d never guess about you!

I'm half Scottish and my dad lives on an island with sands recently compared to the likes of the Maldives. It’s called The Isle Of Barra.

What’s next for you at Spencer Clarke Group?

I'd like to make my stamp within my market and continue to develop my organisational skills and market knowledge. I want to be an integral part of my team and the company as a whole.
