Over the years, I’ve led full-cycle recruitment for a wide range of roles—from high-volume hiring to niche leadership positions—ensuring each candidate experiences Airbnb’s values of belonging, transparency, and empathy throughout the journey. I thrive at the intersection of talent strategy, people experience, and organizational growth, partnering closely with senior leaders to align hiring outcomes with business goals. My approach blends: ✨ Precision in sourcing through advanced research, mapping, and multi-channel talent outreach ✨ Seamless candidate experience powered by clear communication and relationship-first recruiting ✨ Data-driven insights to improve hiring velocity, quality, and workforce planning ✨ Employer branding advocacy by showcasing Airbnb’s mission, culture, and career pathways ✨ Diversity-focused hiring to build inclusive, global-ready teams Beyond hiring, I am passionate about strengthening recruiter–manager collaboration, mentoring new recruiters, optimizing ATS workflows, and building talent communities that support long-term organizational success. What drives me is simple: helping people find a place where they truly belong—and helping Airbnb continue to attract the exceptional talent that powers our global impact.
