Her experience working in the Television and Film industry gives her on-the-ground knowledge of the production world, so as a specialist recruitment executive for VFX, motion picture and animation she’s got the know-how.

Outside Of Work: An avid outdoorswoman, and nature lover, Tegan can be found hiking around Cornwall and bouldering in Bristol. She is frequently found photographing her food for her food blog, and eating lots of donuts, but when her mouth isn’t full, she can also be found singing and playing guitar.
