I'm a recruiter, who used to work solely in hiring Software Testers for organisations across the UK (mainly Scotland and the North of England). Because of this, I'm passionate about furthering the careers of Software Testers and being transparent about hiring practices in this area. I'm also attempting to learn a bit more practically about software testing (thanks Udemy!).
These days, I hire across the technology space for one organisation in Scotland.
I also help with the Ministry of Testing Edinburgh community, setting up regular events for the local community to learn more and network with like-minded (and different!) individuals.
In my spare time, I have hobbies you might do with your pet or granny - going for pretty walks on the beach or in a forest, spending the day reading (I love fantasy), and generally drinking huge amounts of tea whilst I do so!
