About
Passionate about building strong relationships with Hiring Managers by understanding their team dynamics and needs, and with candidates by learning what truly motivates and inspires them. Throughout my career, I have been driven by the goal of connecting top talent with exciting opportunities in technology, helping individuals grow and achieve their full career potential. Recruiting, to me, goes beyond filling roles, it's about creating meaningful connections. I take the time to get to know each candidate personally to ensure they receive a thoughtful, high-quality experience from start to finish. Currently, I support full life cycle recruitment at Ciena, specializing in roles across Sales, Product Line Management, and Supply Chain throughout North America and Canada. Ciena is full of possibilities. I invite you to explore our open roles and join our Talent Community at www.ciena.com .
