Proud moment

My proudest moment was raising £5,923 over the past three years for The Brain Tumour Charity and Cancer Research UK in honour of my brother in law who died from glioblastoma in 2020. I plan to do another fundraiser soon.

Childhood aspirations

I wanted to be a singer growing up. I absolutely love singing and performing and take every opportunity I can to do so, still today. I even used to sing in a jazz cafe!

Eton Bridge have consistently supported me in a number of assignments and always managed to deliver the goods. Working tirelessly to deliver the right candidates, often to very tight deadlines on a competitive basis. I could not ask for more of a recruiter – a real asset when building teams.
