I walked away from the corporate world with no backup plan—just a gut feeling that there had to be more.
What came next was the start of something life-changing. As a freelance Recruitment Consulting Expert, I discovered how to do work I love and live life on my own terms.

This isn’t just my story—it’s a reminder that you can do it too. If you’re craving more freedom, flexibility, and purpose in your career, you’re in the right place.

About Me

For eight years, I climbed the ranks at one of the world’s biggest recruitment agencies. I loved my job, thrived on the wins, and enjoyed the perks—promotions, bonuses, fine dining. On the outside, it looked like I had it all. But behind the scenes? I was burning out.

Sixty-hour workweeks, takeaway dinners, missed birthdays and quality family time lost to work. The success felt hollow when I realised I was sacrificing my health, my happiness, and the life I actually wanted to live. Deep down, I knew something had to change.

So, I did something bold. I handed in my notice—with no plan B.

No next job lined up. No safety net. Just a deep desire to slow down, reset, and rediscover what mattered to me. The moment I walked out of that corporate office, I felt free. Lighter. Clearer. During my gardening leave, I finally had the space to breathe—and to reflect. I asked myself: What if I could use all my recruitment expertise… but do it on my terms?

That question changed everything.

I did exactly that; offered my recruitment expertise to clients but on MY terms. I wasn’t sure what to expect—but the response was incredible. One after another, clients were excited to work with me. My skills were in demand, and I could deliver real value—without sacrificing my freedom.

Since then, I’ve built a career that fits around my life—not the other way around.

I’ve travelled to over 60 countries, ticked off bucket-list dreams, and taken care of my health, relationships, and happiness along the way. I work with amazing clients, supporting their business growth, all while living life on my own terms. My income funds my travels, overpays my mortgage, and lets me save for the future. I’ve found balance. I’ve found purpose. And now, I’m here to help you do the same.

If you’re a recruiter craving more freedom, flexibility, and fulfilment—you're not alone. You can take your skills and build a life you love. It starts with one brave step—and I’m here to guide you every step of the way.
