Summary

I am a Senior Recruiter with 15 years experience in both internal and external environments. I am passionate about sourcing top talent, and providing excellent service to internal and external stakeholders I work with.

Since joining the People & Capability Team at Christchurch City Council, I have been gained a solid understanding of many different aspects of inhouse HR such as union negotiations and performance and risk management. I am looking to broaden my skillset in this area by moving into a more generalist HR position.
