About

Passionate about building and scaling high-impact teams, I specialize in early-career and experienced talent hiring. I am currently building and scaling the Campus Hiring Program from 0→1, establishing strong university partnerships and structured hiring processes to attract top emerging talent. At the same time, I have played a key role in expanding experienced hiring, working closely with hiring managers to drive talent strategies aligned with business goals. Beyond hiring, I focus on strengthening employer branding, streamlining recruitment, and enhancing candidate experience to build scalable talent solutions. Always eager to connect and discuss talent strategies, recruitment best practices, and building strong teams!
