What I'm looking for

I seek a role where I can lead talent acquisition strategy, improve diversity and candidate experience, mentor teams, and deliver data-driven hiring outcomes.

I am an experienced Technical Recruiter and Recruiting Business Partner with a strong track record of optimizing recruitment strategies, sourcing top-tier talent, and mentoring teams.

I have driven diversity and candidate experience improvements—achieving a 39% increase in diverse hires, a 90% offer acceptance rate, and reducing time-to-hire by 12% through process optimization and targeted sourcing.

I partner with leadership and hiring managers on workforce planning, deliver recruitment analytics and business reviews, and recruit across technical and non-technical roles including Software Engineers, DevOps, Data Scientists and Product Managers.

I mentor junior recruiters, build employer branding initiatives, and leverage ATS and sourcing platforms to deliver measurable hiring outcomes and continuous improvements.
