After high school I studied Fashion Design, but never actually worked in the industry. Instead I worked for a Renewable Energy company for 5 years which sparked my interest in Business Development, and this equipped me with a solid industry knowledge.

When I started in recruitment I worked as a Specialist Consultant focusing on the Engineering sector and it's been my foremost sector to work in since. I love recruitment because I love dealing with people and partnering with brands to find "a needle in a haystack".

I am a creative person; I love painting and drawing. I am passionate about art and design, and shopping of course. I also enjoy being outdoors with hobbies like archery and hiking. Every year, I look forward to exploring new places, nothing beats travelling.

My brother picked my name when I was born, and when translated from ancient Greek, Melissa means "honeybee."
