About

I’m a highly adaptable recruiter with experience hiring globally for tech and non-tech teams, high-volume and high-touch roles, and for startups and large companies. My years working as a coordinator, sourcer, and recruiter give me deep expertise and appreciation for each step of the recruitment cycle. My passion is in building process that’s consistent and well-documented while providing the best candidate and stakeholder experience. I believe in exceeding goals while putting a smile on people’s faces. I’m ex-Google / Facebook / Airbnb, certified in project management (IPMA), and a proud gaymer 🌈
