Senior Recruiter -Talent Acquisition

Oct 2021 – Present · 4 yrs 8 mos · Singapore

At Verizon, I serve as the bridge between exceptional talent and the business leaders shaping our APAC strategy. Over the past four years, I’ve led end-to-end hiring across Singapore, Australia, New Zealand, Korea, Taiwan, the Philippines, and China—focusing on technology, leadership, and commercial roles.
My work goes far beyond filling roles. I collaborate closely with stakeholders to understand business priorities, anticipate workforce needs, and design hiring approaches that balance speed, quality, and market realities. Whether advising on talent availability, refining role requirements, or driving market insights, my goal is always to help leaders make confident, data-backed decisions.
For candidates, I strive to create a transparent, respectful, and human recruitment journey—keeping them informed, engaged, and supported at every step. Many have expressed that the clarity and empathy they received during the process shaped their positive perception of Verizon, regardless of the outcome.
From sourcing hard-to-find talent to negotiating complex offers, I’ve built a reputation as a trusted partner who brings structure, calm, and solutions to fast-moving hiring needs. Along the way, I’ve contributed to employer branding, recruitment marketing, and volunteering initiatives, earning multiple awards for collaboration and performance.
