About

With a background in Brand Strategy and Business Management, and over four years of hands-on

experience in recruitment, marketing, and business operations, I bring a unique combination of

creativity, strategic thinking, and people-focused execution.

In my role as a Talent Sourcing Specialist, I developed a deep interest in connecting people with

the right opportunities — proactively sourcing top-tier, primarily passive candidates across the

U.S. market. I used tools such as LinkedIn Recruiter, Dripify, and various ATS platforms to

streamline hiring processes and enhance candidate experience. This evolved further when I was

promoted to Marketing Manager, where I led digital campaigns that not only elevated brand

visibility but also directly supported talent acquisition efforts.

My ability to bridge people, technology, and business strategy is what drives me. Whether it’s

designing an innovative sourcing approach, training hiring managers, or aligning marketing

content with recruitment needs — I am results-driven, adaptable, and thrive in fast-paced

environments.

I am particularly drawn to organizations that value forward-thinking, inclusivity, and continuous

growth. I am confident that my background in recruitment, marketing, and stakeholder

management would allow me to make a strong and immediate contribution to your team.
