What I'm looking for

I'm looking for a front-end role that combines my analytical, curious, and investigative nature with easy connection to people, where I can drive and support others.

At Accenture in Bucharest, I manage end-to-end recruitment and candidate pipelines for external hiring, while providing talent supply, demand, process, automation, training, and analytics support to improve recruiting outcomes.

I've built a reputation as an accessible, responsive partner who follows through with accuracy and attention to detail. My Workday knowledge helps me ask the right questions, resolve issues quickly, and provide clear, patient guidance to stakeholders and candidates.

Before Accenture, I supported DHL's Benelux eCommerce field service operations by monitoring EDI parcel data, resolving customer data issues, troubleshooting servers, and supporting IT hardware and software problems. I've also worked in data analysis, geotechnical data management, customer service, and information processing roles.

My PhD in Geology trained me in scientific research, statistical analysis, data interpretation, GIS, and technical writing. I bring an analytical, investigative approach alongside a genuine ability to connect with people, challenge assumptions constructively, and help others succeed.
