About

I look after the people side of a fast-growing startup. The hiring, the culture, and the small things that quietly hold a company together. Most of what I do happens behind the scenes: finding the right people, helping them settle in, and keeping things running smoothly across our two offices. It's rarely loud work, but it's the kind that shapes how a place feels to work in. I've learned the most by doing a bit of everything, and I'm still learning every day. Curious about people, drawn to startups, and always up for a good conversation. 📩 Let’s connect!
