About

With 10+ years of experience in talent acquisition, I have developed deep expertise across lateral and leadership hiring within the technology ecosystem. My journey spans multiple facets of recruitment—from campus hiring and stakeholder management to contract staffing and strategic workforce planning. In my current role, I work closely with cross-functional stakeholders to deliver on both tech and non-tech hiring needs, ensuring speed, quality, and alignment with business goals. I am passionate about building scalable hiring strategies, creating strong candidate experiences, and enabling teams with the right talent at the right time.
