Hi, I'm Raisa!

I do HR across the whole employee lifecycle.

I've spent seven years in recruiting, people operations, and L&D. My work has included technical recruiting at Google, HR on a two-person team, and employee training for a global software company.

My story

The year I stepped back

In 2026, I took a break from corporate work and spent a couple of months traveling across Europe, Asia, and North America. I wanted time to think about what I enjoy and what I want to do next.

I spent more time learning AI, published children's coloring books, and started a business on the side. I'm now looking for my next HR role and taking on a few consulting projects.
