Guiding principles
The Golden Rule – I have always believed in treating others the way you would like to be treated.
Constantly learning and evolving – no matter how tough they may be. The field of Communications is extremely dynamic, while you do get to enjoy the work, it is also crucial to upskill yourself, frequently.
Side hustle
I started my recruitment firm in the peak of Covid-19 with the vision to support those that were facing unemployment and displacement, and I am proud to say that it is still active and running smoothly. When I am not focused on securing meaty pieces for my clients, I work at closing both full-time & temporary positions within the engineering & tech space.
