About

I feel my best self when I'm working hard towards my goals and achieving them. I've had an entrepreneur spirit ever since I was a kid. Being in Fintech is exciting and I have solid experience in the Talent Acquisition function; from full cycle recruiting to building out successful processes and systems implementations. I love hiring to build strong teams and contribute to the long term success of the organization. “To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all.” - Oscar Wilde
