Summary

I have always had a keen interest around Sports and the Education Sector. I've thoroughly enjoyed working within a school environment for nearly 4 years now working with a number of different children and young adults, in a variety of educational and sports settings. I strongly believe i can now transfer these valuable skills and the experience i have gained to step into Recruitment and start my journey as a Education Recruitment Consultant.

With my relevant experience with working in a High School i will be able to select candidates based on their qualities for roles to suit their specific needs.
