What I'm looking for

I seek a people-first, collaborative company where I can lead high-volume technical recruiting, improve hiring processes, and run internship and ESG-focused talent programs.

I am a talent acquisition advocate and sourcer with extensive experience managing full-cycle recruiting for technical, sales, logistics, and executive roles across AMER/EMEA/LATAM/APAC. I have a proven track record of optimizing interview processes, building sourcing strategies with tools like SeekOut and SAP SuccessFactors, and managing high-volume interview logistics for global teams.

I have led internship programs and employee resource initiatives, driven data-informed hiring through KPI analysis, and supported employer branding and ESG-focused recruitment events. I bring strong stakeholder management, project coordination, and process-improvement skills to deliver seamless candidate experiences and measurable hiring outcomes.
