Summary

I am a Talent Sourcer and HR Business Partner at Vibrant, supporting organizations across global talent acquisition, strategic hiring, and people-focused business initiatives. My work involves identifying and engaging high-caliber professionals across multiple markets and industries, with experience supporting both operational and executive-level searches.

I specialize in talent sourcing, stakeholder engagement, candidate strategy, and HR partnership, helping organizations secure strong talent in competitive and evolving markets. Alongside broader recruitment initiatives, I also support confidential executive and strategic hiring mandates requiring discretion, market intelligence, and targeted talent mapping.

My background combines talent acquisition with HR business partnering, allowing me to approach hiring from both a people and business perspective. I work closely with leadership teams and hiring stakeholders to align talent strategy with organizational goals while maintaining a strong focus on relationship-building, candidate experience, and long-term workforce value.

I am particularly passionate about international talent sourcing, leadership hiring, organizational growth, and connecting businesses with professionals who can drive measurable impact across complex environments.
