My Speciality

I specialise in the Data, Technology & Finance industries, working with permanent, temporary and contract professionals across the UK, Europe and US. I work with hires earning salaries in the range of $95,000 to $200,000.

Why I Chose Leadenhall

Following a career in Finance and Data, I was searching for a relationship-orientated, client-focused role where I could see the impact of my work. Leadenhall stood out to me as a boutique company that put great focus on its relationships with clients and candidates. Furthermore, the effective communication during the hiring process reassured me that Leadenhall is an excellent company for personal growth. I was provided with frequent updates and precise information regarding the role, and I was made to feel a member of the team straight away. Leadenhall continues to encourage my personal and professional development in tandem with the company itself.

Career History

I graduated from the University of Warwick with a BSc (Hons) in Economics in July 2024. After my studies, I spent the summer travelling Europe and Southeast Asia before beginning a career as a Forensic Accountant at a Professional Services Firm in Birmingham, before working as a Data Officer in the education sector in Liverpool. I enjoyed working in diverse areas of the UK and was very excited to work in London to experience the fast-paced environment.

Outside of Work

Since I was young, I have enjoyed training martial arts, and enjoy playing football with the Leadenhall team. I also do indoor climbing whenever I get the chance. I enjoy travelling, having visited Central America, North Africa, Europe, Arabia, and Central and Southeast Asia. I am also a lifelong Everton fan and enjoy our infrequent successes.
