🧚🏼‍♀️ Fairy Job Mother.


⚔️ Recruitment Jedi.


🎮 Gamer.

I’m described as energetic, positive, optimistic, enthusiastic, happy, and someone who spreads good vibes around like pixie dust. I believe in magic and I’m one with the Force and have combined my recruiting skills to match passions and careers together as a recruiter in my day job.

Being a Fairy Job Mother means I’m a talent strategist who helps organizations strategize, optimize, and scale their talent. I care about people and community and want to help them discover their authentic selves, reach their potential, and connect them with opportunities where they can be their best.

With 10 years in recruitment, I have experience and insight from having worked in industries such as tech, entertainment, media, and video games. I got to work at my dream companies and now I want to help others to achieve this too with the goal of making career dreams come true!

Lastly, I’m a gamer. I love cozy games, but I have an eclectic taste and play a lot of different genres because I just love video games. I’m working to build a community where I can bring everyone together to just talk about games, no matter what level of interest. I believe the gaming community is one of the best communities out there, and I want to work to make sure everyone feels safe and welcome there.
