I am a strong, driven and focused woman who found a passion in the Transport and Logistics world at Mainstream. I have always been interested in big industry within a fast-paced and high-stakes environment. At Mainstream, I was lucky enough to have amazing people that were supportive of my never-ending thirst for understanding around all the different aspects of the industry. Thus, fueling my interest and passion for it even more. Now that I have found the industry that I love and am settled into family life, I am wanting to progress and develop my skills and knowledge even more. I am wanting to join a business that could offer me a path, potentially for the rest of my career.
