What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can lead federal/technical full-cycle recruiting, build scalable talent pipelines, and strengthen employer branding through data-driven systems—while advancing DEI and improving candidate and hiring manager experiences.

I’m a data-driven Talent Acquisition Strategist with 7+ years of success in full-cycle recruiting for federal agencies, IT roles, and high-growth environments. I build scalable hiring systems and improve processes to enhance both candidate and hiring manager experiences.

In my current role as Corporate Recruiter, I spearhead end-to-end recruitment for federal, IT, and operational roles supporting government contracts with NIH, DOE, DOJ, and USAID. I manage sourcing, screening, interviewing, and onboarding to ensure timely staffing aligned with contract requirements and compliance standards.

I also lead proposal staffing for major federal initiatives, coordinating talent acquisition and resource allocation for projects with USAID, the Office of Head Start (OHS), and the Department of Labor (DOL). I’ve delivered measurable impact, including a 30% improvement in award-readiness and a 25% increase in employee satisfaction and retention through a company-wide Buddy Program.

Alongside recruiting, I support employer branding and engagement through virtual career fairs and strategic marketing partnerships. I’ve created interview frameworks that reduced time-to-fill by 20%, and I’m passionate about diversity recruiting, employer branding, and mentorship.
