About

I’ve spent the last 5+ years helping brands grow through digital marketing that actually connects with people. From running paid campaigns to building organic visibility, I enjoy finding that sweet spot between strategy and creativity that really moves the needle. Along the way, I realized something important: growth isn’t just about marketing—it’s about people, culture, and systems. That shift is what led me to theHRpuzzle, where I’ve grown into my current role as Associate Partner – Recruitment. I help scaling organizations build predictable hiring engines, set up practical HR foundations, and create high-performing, inclusive cultures. I still draw a lot from my marketing experience - after all, building a brand and building a team have a lot in common. Both need strategy, clarity, and a little creativity. These days, a big part of my role is connecting with talented people and helping them find opportunities where they can actually do their best work. So if I’ve reached out, it’s because I genuinely think there’s a conversation worth having. Even if you’re not actively exploring, I’m always up for a quick, no-pressure chat. You never know what might turn into the right opportunity.
