My career began at OpenText, where I progressed from a Sourcing Partner to a Lead Talent Acquisition Advisor, successfully filling critical roles and managing full-cycle recruitment efforts. I have a proven track record of aligning talent with strategic business needs, particularly in high-demand areas such as software development, cybersecurity, and cloud engineering.

Throughout my tenure, I have been recognized for my ability to navigate complex recruitment landscapes, including working with candidates requiring visa sponsorship. My strategic sourcing initiatives have led to significant contributions in talent acquisition, including a notable achievement of filling the Chief of Staff role at HPE Software. I pride myself on being a brand ambassador for the companies I represent, ensuring a seamless and engaging candidate experience.
