My journey into matchmaking started after twenty years as a professional Recruiter — or as many call it, a “Headhunter.” While I spent years connecting talented professionals with the right opportunities, what I was really doing was helping people find a sense of purpose. At its core, the roles of a Recruiter and a Matchmaker are quite similar: I introduce two individuals with a shared goal, facilitate the connection, and guide them as they build something meaningful. The only difference now? The end goal isn’t a job — it’s love.

Beyond my professional experience, my personal life has served as a rich classroom in the art of connection. I’ve walked the same path many of my clients are on today. I’ve swiped, messaged, and hoped. I’ve crafted clever bios, taken carefully curated profile pictures, and opened my heart to strangers who, in some cases, weren’t entirely honest about who they truly were. I’ve felt the butterflies of a promising first date, the letdown of unmet expectations, and the heartbreak of hope that never quite materialized.

There were times I dated to fill the silence, to feel something, or simply because I didn’t want to give up on the possibility of love. I know what it feels like to keep showing up with courage, even after disappointment. I know the exhaustion of emotionally investing in connections that ultimately go nowhere. And I know the quiet strength it takes to stay open-hearted through it all.

But then, love found me — not through an app, but through people who saw a connection waiting to happen. Mutual friends introduced me to the man who would become my life partner. At the time, we lived an hour and forty-five minutes apart, and our paths likely would never have crossed if someone hadn’t played matchmaker. That experience taught me something crucial: sometimes, love just needs a little help finding its way.

And that’s why I do this work. Not everyone sees potential connections the way I do — not everyone wears the “matchmaker hat.” But I do. I believe in intentional introductions, in meaningful conversations, and in the quiet magic that happens when two people meet and realize they’ve found something real.

As your matchmaker, I’m not just here to find you dates — I’m here to be your partner in the process. I’ll celebrate your wins, support you through setbacks, and hold space for your dreams, fears, and hopes. Whether you’re new to dating or have been searching for a while, you don’t have to navigate this journey alone.
