Summary

Senior IT Recruiter with over 10 years of international experience. My journey into recruitment started in London, UK and continued in Barcelona once I relocated to Spain. My experience includes all facets of the recruitment process for IT roles. Also, I am always looking for new creative ways to find top talent while building and maintaining strong relationships along the way.

Currently looking for a new challenge in a technology sector with a transparent environment where I will be able to utilize my skills and contribute to company's success. I am dedicated, proactive and hard working. But I also value healthy work-life balance.
