Summary

Tech talent whisperer. Sourcing ninja. Diversity advocate. With 7+ years of experience in the fast-paced world of technical recruiting, I've mastered the art of finding hidden gems in the tech talent landscape. From Microsoft to Accenture to Twitter, I've partnered with engineering teams to build dream squads—one role at a time—across AI, cloud computing, and data science. My secret? A mix of creativity, analytics, and a bit of techie intuition. Whether it’s Boolean searches, LinkedIn Recruiter, or engaging with candidates at industry events, I know where to look (and sometimes where no one else is looking). I build relationships, not just pipelines, and thrive in environments where diversity and inclusion aren’t just buzzwords but the foundation of success. I’m here to not only find top talent but to create experiences that candidates won’t forget. Let’s make the hiring process as groundbreaking as the technology we’re hiring for
