I started life as a Royal Flying Doctor baby in remote north western Australia. My parents’ work gave us a nomadic lifestyle, and we travelled extensively throughout my early years before settling in the Northern Territory. As a kid, I loved life in rural and regional Australia. Some of my fondest memories are sleeping under the stars and watching outback sunsets.

I had a keen interest in nursing from a young age with Florence calling. This led me to leave school early to care for my father before going on to become a registered nurse. Later, I found my true career path in medical recruitment. It felt right from the start, and over the past two decades I have gone from working as a solo recruiter, to building teams, to leading a national recruitment business in senior management roles.

Recruiting healthcare professionals has given me a deep appreciation for the dedication, passion and humanity that doctors, nurses and paramedics bring to their work every day. Listening to their many inspiring stories over the years has sometimes made me laugh and sometimes even cry.

My life experiences have shaped me and fuelled my commitment to supporting those who make healthcare possible. My goal is to build a company that healthcare professionals and clients can always trust to stand beside them, connecting caregivers and care providers, making medicine accessible to people in need, and helping create a healthier world.

I feel privileged to walk alongside a profession defined by care and compassion. That belief is at the heart of what we do, and I’m excited to continue this journey as a Director at Salt Medical Recruitment.
