What I'm looking for

I seek a dynamic environment that values diversity and innovation, offering opportunities for strategic impact and professional growth.

I am a passionate and strategic Senior Technical Recruiter with a decade of experience in full-cycle recruitment across global high-growth startups, banking, and digital product organizations. My expertise lies in building and scaling top-notch talent for Engineering, AI/ML, Product, Design, Executive, and Data roles. I leverage data to inform hiring strategies and navigate complex stakeholder relationships, ensuring equitable hiring practices.

Throughout my career, I have successfully closed critical roles, such as a long-standing Director of Design position in New York within 30 days by revamping sourcing strategies and aligning closely with hiring managers. I have partnered with engineering and product stakeholders to define hiring criteria and drive efficient hiring processes without compromising quality. My entrepreneurial spirit drives my creativity and curiosity, allowing me to bring innovative solutions to the recruitment landscape.
