My Life Sciences journey began at secondary school where I initially engaged with the subject and decided to pursue it further by studying Biomedical Science at University. During University, I began working in a part-time sales role and following graduation, combined my expertise and experience by joining Meet to specialise within Life Sciences recruitment.

Since 2013, I have been working specifically within this field, supporting local and global Pharma, Biotech, C(D)MO, CRO clients and candidates. I enjoy working with people and building successful relationships and working here has allowed me to this daily. 

Outside of work, I love food (both cooking and eating), watching live music and exploring new cities and countries. I manage our permanent Quality, Technical Operations and Scientific roles across Europe.

I work within this space providing candidates and clients with market knowledge and advice to ensure that their recruitment processes are simpler and more successful.


For clients, I support them on hiring strategies making the hiring process streamlined, providing them with the best talent and saving their time and resources. 


For candidates, I guide them on their job search, helping them stand out in an extremely competitive market and provide them with the best chance to be successful in their search. With a scientific degree, I am truly passionate about the Life Sciences industry, and I love seeing the desire of individuals and companies to help improve our lives and the health of our planet.

What fascinates me about this market is the true innovation in science and technology to help people worldwide and the significant growth this industry is currently going through. Playing a part within this industry by linking the right candidate to the right client, is what drives me to continue working within this space. By partnering with me and my team, you will be partnering with a team is part of the industry, and we will provide you with access to an extensive network of contacts and great knowledge of the market.

We are an agile team that has been able to adapt as the market has changed over the years and our goal is to make sure your recruitment process is tailored, simple and ultimately successful whether you are a candidate or a client.
