About

A decade of experience in talent acquisition, having led and scaled hiring functions at high-growth companies like Earnin, Wayfair, Coinbase, and more. I’ve partnered with global stakeholders across the U.S., Canada, Mexico, Thailand, and India, gaining a strong international perspective on talent strategy. My core focus has been on building engineering, data science, and product teams from the ground up. Whether supporting a hyper-growth startup or a mature tech organization, I understand the unique hiring dynamics each environment presents—and how to attract the right talent that drives real impact. Beyond hiring, I’m passionate about mentoring professionals and helping them make smarter, well-informed career decisions. I frequently share insights on hiring processes, cultural alignment, and long-term growth—especially for those transitioning between startups and big tech. My goal is to empower individuals with the clarity and confidence to take the next step in their careers. I’m always open to connecting with like-minded professionals—whether you’re building a team, exploring your next role, or simply want to talk about careers, talent strategy, or hiring trends in tech. Feel free to reach out or Book 1:1 with me. Let’s connect!
