About

Working in tech was never part of the plan. But a girl’s gotta pay the bills. Fast forward a few years and I’m unexpectedly loving what I do and the people I do it with. I started at Olive as a proud jackie-of-all-trades, evolving with company. I’ve carved a position for myself by harnessing the best attributes from the hospitality industry, film and entertainment, entrepreneurship, recruitment and now IT. I maintain an open mind, a thirst for knowledge and the world will always be my stage.
