What I'm looking for

I seek a role where I can scale engineering/product/creative teams using data-driven sourcing, improve talent operations, mentor recruiters, and advance DE&I hiring.

I am a SHRM-SCP certified Talent Acquisition Partner and technical sourcer with 7+ years of full-cycle technical recruiting experience and 10+ years across creative, software engineering and technical production.

I have specialized in engineering, product management, AI, DevOps and games recruiting, building diverse pipelines for high-growth SaaS and gaming organizations through data-driven sourcing, market mapping and recruitment analytics.

I have led hiring for senior and niche roles, reduced placement failures, delivered salary benchmarking and crafted sourcing playbooks, ATS migrations and recruiting SOPs to improve hiring quality and time-to-hire.

I partner with hiring managers, DE&I leaders and cross-functional teams to scale teams, mentor recruiters, and implement structured interviewing and talent operations improvements that align with business goals.
