TAL Group provided me the opportunity to apply myself and my determination to learn, develop and move up the ranks. I started here years back as an Technology Recruiter, but my passion for resource solutions began the transition to my current role as Director of Recruitment.
I’m a transformational coach that believes in the HR movement and is driven by employee empowerment and engagement. I understand that happy and satisfied employees directly relates with satisfied customers. I have a thirst for learning and keeping up to date with trends in the HR and recruitment world.

At TAL Group, I wear many hats throughout the day, which can vary from Marketing Guru to Event Planner to Brand Strategist. I take pride in being a woman in leadership within my organization, and actively mentor and empower women on our team that are eager to grow, progress & achieve their goals. In 2017 I kickstarted our partnership with Canada’s Learning Code and launched our in-house Employee Reward Program, which embraces a variety of lifestyle choices and allows our team members to recognize one another’s effort, work & accomplishments.
Prior to joining TAL Group, I was part of the Marketing Team for the Walt Disney Company in Canada.
