About

I’m a former Talent Acquisition Manager transitioning into Product Management, with a focus on recruitment products. After years of working directly with hiring teams, tools, and workflows, I developed a deep understanding of the pain points in modern recruiting—from candidate experience to internal efficiency. Now, I’m channeling that experience into building better solutions. I bring a strong foundation in stakeholder management, process optimization, and human-centered thinking—skills that translate naturally into product work. I’m especially interested in improving tools that empower recruiters, hiring managers, and candidates.
