What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters innovation and supports diverse talent acquisition strategies.

With over 7 years of experience in talent acquisition, I have developed a versatile skill set that allows me to excel in technical and international recruitment. My career has been marked by a proven track record of building and executing strategic hiring frameworks, sourcing diverse talent, and enhancing the candidate experience across global markets. I am adept at stakeholder management, pipeline generation, and mentoring teams to achieve ambitious hiring targets. My commitment to driving impactful Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives has been a cornerstone of my professional ethos.

In my recent role as a Freelance Talent Consultant, I partnered with tech startups to provide tailored recruitment training and talent acquisition strategies. Previously, as a Senior Recruiter at Accolite Digital, I established the UK talent acquisition function and designed a graduate recruitment roadmap that significantly improved diversity metrics. My tenure at Meta as a Technical Sourcer saw me exceed hiring goals and pioneer diversity initiatives, while my experience at Google involved filling critical niche roles efficiently. I thrive in dynamic environments and am passionate about creating innovative onboarding solutions that foster inclusive workplaces.
