About

With a Bachelor of Business Administration, I’ve always been passionate about human resources and talent acquisition. My academic journey ignited my interest in recruitment strategies, process optimization, and creating equitable workplaces. I am deeply invested in learning new HR technologies and applying data-driven insights to enhance hiring processes. Over the past 3+ years, I have worked across industries such as ed-techs, design studio, AI and mental health platforms. My experience spans roles at Red Baton, UXmagic.ai, YourDOST, Skillslash Academy, and Simplilearn, where I led full-cycle recruiting efforts for technical and non-technical roles. I specialize in staffing and recruitment, DEI hiring, recruitment analytics, and negotiation. Through my efforts, I achieved a 30% increase in qualified candidate applications and enhanced offer acceptance rates by 25%. I am adept at managing applicant tracking systems (ATS) and leveraging LinkedIn Recruiter for sourcing and engagement. Looking ahead, I am focused on expanding my expertise in strategic talent acquisition and employer branding. My goal is to lead high-impact recruitment initiatives that promote diverse, innovative workplaces while optimizing hiring efficiency and retention. I’m excited about taking on new challenges that allow me to grow as a recruitment leader and make meaningful contributions to organizational success.
