About

With over a 12+ years of recruiting experience, I am now building the University Recruiting Strategy for Asia at Jane Street, a global quantitative trading firm. I work with a team of inspiring University recruiters and am passionate about finding, engaging with, and hiring the best Early in Career talent across universities in Asia. In my previous roles at Microsoft and Uber, I have hired across a range of job roles and levels, from software engineers to product managers, from university hires to lateral industry hires, including leadership roles. I have also led and contributed to various branding, learning, and engagement initiatives to elevate the employer brand and foster a diverse and inclusive culture. I thrive in dynamic, high-energy, and creative work spaces, and I am curious, driven, and thirsty for knowledge. I am passionate about public speaking, stimulating conversations, learning new things.
