Technical Recruiter

I am a highly driven recruiter dedicated to helping people find great careers! My favorite part of the whole recruiting process is the initial conversation. This conversation is where I get to learn about personal aspirations and next career moves. I might not have perfect opportunity right away and that's okay. The most exciting and rewarding part about this job is finding the right opportunities for people and the journey that comes along with it. 

I have grown my recruiting skills significantly since I first started my career and I'm excited to keep growing and learning day in and day out. I am highly skilled at full-cycle recruitment and strategic sourcing. The fulfillment I have gotten from recruiting, so far, has come from placing rising and existing top-performers with the right career moves in product management, recruiting (R4R), UX/UI, software engineering, big data, DevOps, business intelligence, and more.
