Tell us a little bit about your background

Hailing from the beautiful state of Colorado, I'll cross mountains, valleys and oceans to find the best creative talent worldwide. My background spans casting, talent management, executive search, creative recruiting and producing for film and stage. I moved to London to keep building that work globally, and I can't wait to make a Major impact.

‍

What team have you joined, and what will you be responsible for?

I will be working on Creative permanent roles including Creative and Art Directors, Senior Designers, and many more creative specialists.

‍

What excites you most about joining Major Players?

Working alongside a team of incredible talent experts and the Major Players' unrivalled creative network, of course!

‍

What trends are you seeing in your area of expertise or the wider talent market right now?

The linear career path is dissolving, and quickly. Candidates with portfolio careers and demonstrated impact across projects and clients can show flexibility and creative problem-solving.

‍

Outside of work, what do you like to get up to?

You can find me outside or on the dancefloor. I'm a global citizen and love to travel wherever my two feet can take me – hiking, skiing, or just a really long walk. I'm an arts and culture maven and am always at a gallery opening, movie showing or concert in my area.

‍

A song you can count on to get your creative juices flowing?

M0th – Dua Saleh

‍

And finally… what's one thing people should know about you that isn't on your CV?

I'm a trained actress! My theatre background has given me a deep appreciation for the arts ecosystem and a fierce determination to empower creatives.
