About

With over 15 years in recruitment, I’ve been lucky enough to partner with some amazing companies in both the VFX 🎬 and SaaS 💻 worlds—leading hiring strategies, scaling teams globally, and helping people land careers they truly love. I’ve built recruitment functions from scratch, acted as a trusted partner to senior leadership, and led full-cycle hiring efforts that helped companies grow by 30%+. Along the way, I’ve hired for many roles; some include: Vfx Artists (Senior, Leads, Supervisors) Production (all Levels), Executive Management, Development, Systems, Operations, Marketing, Finance, Sales. I’ve also driven employer branding initiatives and worked hand-in-hand with People & Culture to design hiring experiences that are intentional, inclusive, and human. At the end of the day, what drives me is pretty simple: I love connecting people with meaningful opportunities and helping businesses thrive with the right talent. Currently, I’m a Senior Technical Recruiter at Sony Pictures Imageworks 🚀
