What I'm looking for

I seek a dynamic role in a forward-thinking company that values innovation and growth, where I can leverage my recruitment and marketing expertise to drive success.

My career has been marked by a commitment to delivering measurable impact across diverse industries. I excel in managing the complete end-to-end recruitment lifecycle, building and maintaining strong relationships with hiring managers, and driving lead generation through innovative advertising campaigns.

As the founder of ShorelineTalent, I have successfully placed top remote marketing talent into SMEs and agencies, providing cost-effective solutions that streamline operations and enhance team efficiency. My previous role as the founder of AppointFlow allowed me to combine paid advertising with appointment setting, generating qualified leads for home services businesses. I am adept at leveraging data-driven strategies to optimize performance and achieve business goals.
