About

Hello. I'm an experienced recruiter and talent specialist with a focus on product and experience design, user research and creative. I love helping businesses build awesome teams, and helping people find awesome careers. I've been doing this for over 10 years. I've worked across the full life-cycle hiring process, ranging from hiring strategy, identifying skills gaps and market insight to talent sourcing, on-boarding and retention. I'm also really interested in employer brand and value proposition to better connect people with missions, not jobs. When I'm not connecting great talent with exciting opportunities, I'm mostly listening to (and/or reading about) noisy guitars, drinking tea and following sports teams that promise much but deliver little 🤷🏻
