About Me

I’m a Senior Recruitment Consultant at Amicus Recruitment, specialising in recruiting within the Artificial Intelligence space.

Outside of recruitment, I am avid Rugby Union player (modeling my game off the great Andy Goode). Besides Rugby I grew up on Birmingham City football and Worcestershire County Cricket attending as many matches as the English weather would permit! Hobby wise, I enjoy pushing myself in the gym, attempting new sports, exploring new countries, cultures and cuisines.
