What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can own end-to-end talent acquisition, partner with senior stakeholders, and use analytics plus AI-enabled tools to improve hiring outcomes. I want to drive DEI hiring, candidate experience, and measurable process efficiency in a fast-moving, cross-functional environment.

I’m a recruitment and people specialist with 4+ years of global experience across Ireland and India at EY, PwC, and The D. E. Shaw Group. I deliver end-to-end talent acquisition, stakeholder management, and data-driven process improvements, with a strong track record of improving candidate experience, operational efficiency, and business outcomes through analytics and AI-enabled tools.

In my recent work at Ernst & Young, I designed leadership development for 85+ senior IT stakeholders, improved team effectiveness by 20%, and boosted engagement by 35% through ILT/VILT learning. I also engineered AI prompt frameworks for Copilot and an internal AI platform to scale adoption across a 150-member consulting team, and I’ve led DEI hiring initiatives that increased diversity representation by 20% while improving time to hire by 20% and operational efficiency by 20% through workforce analytics dashboards.
