About

Quick take on how life happened.... I honestly don’t remember applying for my first job. Somewhere between random applications and curiosity, I landed an internship at Brandintelle(Mediaware)… which somehow turned into a full-time role. Safe to say.... that accident worked out pretty well. That’s where I learned what HR actually means beyond policies and job descriptions. I had the chance to work with people who: Thought strategically Challenged how hiring should be done And (unknowingly) pushed me to start building a voice of my own 👉 That’s also how my LinkedIn journey started. Fast forward to today, I joined Grexa AI at a very early stage. And suddenly, things got real. No “structured processes.” No “this is how we’ve always done it.” Just a growing company and a lot of hiring to figure out. Since then, I’ve: Helped build the team from the ground up (ended up hiring ~80% of the current team) Worked on shaping hiring processes while actively hiring (yes, those two things happening together can get chaotic 😅) Handled hiring across multiple roles at once (at one point… 18 roles. Would not recommend without coffee.) And I’ll be honest, I’ve messed up along the way. Missed things. Overcommitted. Learned the hard way. But those moments taught me more than anything else. 👉 Including discovering the Pomodoro technique just to survive some weeks. Today, I care deeply about: Building teams that actually work well together Making hiring less reactive and more intentional Creating structure in places where there is none On here, I share: Real hiring stories (the wins and the chaos) Lessons from startup environments Thoughts on hiring, people, and growth If you’re building a team, scaling fast, or just curious about how hiring actually works.
