Talent Development

I am very passionate about one thing: Talent.

I started my career in higher education, having worked across various institutions, departments and regions. After a few years I decided to expand my reach to adult learners & decided to shift towards corporations - working with them to create learning journeys, build effective talent acquisition pipelines, and develop talent development programs.

In my current role, I am working with a tech consulting firm where I lead on talent acquisition for one of the practices, design and implement a learning and development strategy to help bring on board tech talent, as well as design career paths and growth opportunities for their employees.

I have a strong interest in how we can use science - particular behavioral and neurosciences - to help people learn effectively, expand their mindset and overall grow personally and professionally. I am currently studying in a Cognitive Neuroscience Graduate Program to further develop in this field.

As an entrepreneur – I co-founded a tech education platform that prepares youth for the future – Bloom Youth and Bessern – tech solution for productivity and well-being in organizations.

When I am not leading talent transformation, I volunteer my time to help young students with their career development goals, as well as military veterans looking to make career transition to corporate jobs.
