How did you get into games as a hobby?

I’m not a huge gamer, but growing up I loved games like Crash Bandicoot, Spyro, and The Sims. It was amazing to see both Crash and Spyro return in their remastered editions recently, still as popular as ever!

What’s your career background?

My first role was in recruitment and I have worked in the industry ever since. I’ve recruited across a variety of sectors including, education, marketing, and sales. That experience has set me up to succeed, and now I’m very excited to get to know the games industry more!

What’s an average day look like for you at Aardvark Swift?

Talking to lots of people about their dream jobs and trying to make that happen! It’s an incredible and humbling position to be in and I can’t wait to really make my mark on the role here.

What do you love most about your job?

I love the fact that I get to speak to so many different people who are ambitious and passionate about what they do. This is more than just a job to most people, this is a lifelong dream and career. That kind of drive is infectious!
