What I'm looking for
As a Senior Talent Acquisition Specialist with nearly a decade of experience at Accenture, I have honed my skills in recruiting top-tier talent for Data Visualization and Big Data roles.

I take pride in my ability to assess candidates' qualifications against project demands, ensuring a perfect fit for both the candidate and the organization. My commitment to excellence has not only contributed to my personal success but has also significantly impacted the teams I have supported.
In addition to my recruitment expertise, I have a strong background in technical sales and marketing, having worked with leading technology companies. This diverse experience equips me with a unique perspective on the skills and attributes that drive success in technical roles.
