My Forte in Recruiting


- Senior Recruiting Partner | Sourcing | Employer Branding -



What is your professional forte? "Forte" is defined "as a thing at which someone excels." For me, it is in a few areas: helping employers make their brands well-known to candidates (aka "employer branding"), sourcing passive candidates through unique and creative methods (with an emphasis on sourcing diverse candidates), and most of all, providing a stellar customer experience for both hiring managers and candidates. I bring over 8+ years of full-cycle technical and corporate recruiting experience in the software, electronics distribution and financial (payment processing) industries.

Aside from my professional career, I'm passionate about travel, languages, nature, learning, history and environmental sustainability.
