About

Multi-lingual communications professional specializing in Employer/Talent Brand and recruitment marketing, with several years of experience across digital, social and integrated communications. I’ve contributed to award-winning employer brand work across social media, diversity, technology, innovation, and video, helping translate EVP and culture into campaigns and content that engage employees and attract talent. My experience spans multiple industries, including telecommunications, rail manufacturing, and banking, partnering with stakeholders across functions to deliver communications that are clear, audience-led, and aligned to business and talent priorities. I’m passionate about Employer Brand because it sits at the intersection of people, culture, and storytelling. I love building digital-first narratives that feel human and authentic (with a touch of smart humour), and I’m motivated by work that helps people see themselves in a company, before day one and long after.
