About

A recruiting specialist with a strong focus on early careers and campus hiring, experienced in managing large-scale hiring programs across different business units. Over the past few years, I’ve built end-to-end recruitment processes — from designing hiring strategies to onboarding talent — while keeping both business priorities and candidate experience in balance. I’ve worked closely with universities, placement teams, and internal stakeholders to strengthen employer branding and build campus-to-corporate pipelines. Along the way, I’ve also supported process improvements to streamline operations. What drives me is the mix of strategy and execution — shaping a plan, delivering it under tight timelines, and still creating a positive candidate journey. I’m now looking to take this experience forward in a role where I can contribute to scalable talent acquisition strategies and grow in a global context.
