About

Talent Acquisition Partner and your biggest advocate at Dispensed! 🌟 A little insight on my background: I love being a Recruiter as I help discover top talent and offer people their dream jobs! I began my journey as a Recruiter with Kraken Digital Asset Exchange, where I spent almost 2 years meeting amazing talent with immense passion for the crypto space and the world of blockchain. After being affected by the layoffs in the tech space in late 2022, I took a leap of faith and moved across the pond to Melbourne from Ireland to get a taste of the Aussie culture. β˜• β˜€οΈ I have had the pleasure of working with a number of fast-growing companies since. My speciality is in tech & product recruitment - however, I have also hired a range of clinical roles. 🌎 Outside of work, I love a good crime documentary, playing soccer and have recently started going to Yoga - feeling very zen these days. I’m dog obsessed also, so feel free to show off your fur babies if we ever get to chat on a video call. 🐢
