About

Recruiting isn't just about finding the right resume — it's about reading between the lines (and sometimes, minds). With a Master’s degree in Industrial Psychology and 4+ years of experience at MetaMorph, I’ve mastered the art of blending behavioral science with strategic tech hiring. My ability to “read minds” (or at least, predict behavior) helps me identify not just who can do the job, but who will thrive in it. Specializing in end-to-end tech recruitment across all levels, I’ve worked with diverse clients to build teams that are not only technically sound but also culturally cohesive. I’m passionate about making hiring smarter, more human, and more impactful — from the first screening call to long-term team success. Whether it’s optimizing processes, improving team dynamics, or advising on growth strategy, I bring a psychology-backed, people-first approach to every talent conversation.
