I recruit permanent Ecommerce and Online Trading/Merch roles across Fashion, Beauty, Home and Retail. I originally came from a Creative and Design background studying Theatre and Costume Design in university. I started off recruiting in Product Design and I loved seeing peoples work and portfolios, but with me being a fashion addict and loyal fashion follower, I made the natural progression to Marketing and Ecommerce. A lover of musical theatre and textiles, in my spare time you can find me either in Zara, the Theatre or in the V&A. An avid Fleetwood Mac and Dr.Marten’s addict and even though I’m in my 20’s…I have a fat pet hamster called Albus Dumbledore. No Shame.
