What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role in talent acquisition where sourcing and assessment work together—using structured pipelines, competency-based evaluation, and clear stakeholder collaboration to improve candidate quality and hiring outcomes.

I’m a Human Resource Intern focused on full-cycle recruiting, where I’ve designed and executed sourcing strategies using LinkedIn Recruiter, Boolean search, and job boards—sourcing 150+ candidates across 6 roles and moving 40 to the interview stage, contributing to 3 successful hires.

Beyond sourcing, I bring ICF-ACC coaching and competency assessment to ensure role fit: ICF-ACC certified coaching with 4+ years of 1:1 assessment experience across 100+ individuals, plus TVRLS Competency Mapping to translate role requirements into clear candidate criteria. In parallel, I’ve coached laid-off professionals to job re-entry (90% within 3 months) and built a structured cohort program with 100% completion for teenagers and early-career professionals.
