From the Other Side of the Hiring Table.

I've spent 20 years inside hiring rooms — as a recruiter, a people leader, and someone who's interviewed thousands of candidates across some of Canada's fastest-growing companies.

When I speak, I bring that insider perspective to the stage.

Whether I'm talking to new grads figuring out their first job search, recruitment teams rethinking how they attract talent, or conference audiences hungry for something beyond the usual platitudes — the goal is always the same: leave the room with something concrete you can act on today.

I've spoken to audiences ranging from intimate workshops to keynotes of 500+, across universities, corporations, and conferences. Topics I'm most frequently booked for include career development and job search strategy, and recruitment and talent operations.

If you're looking for a speaker who's direct, engaging, and actually knows what happens behind the hiring curtain… let's talk!
