Dynamic talent acquisition executive with over 20 years of progressive leadership in physician recruitment across complex healthcare systems and national networks. My proven track record includes building high-performing teams and developing system-wide strategies that consistently exceed targets, resulting in hundreds of successful physician placements across diverse specialties.

In my most recent role as Senior Physician Talent Acquisition at Acadia Healthcare, I co-led the recruitment strategy for a national behavioral health network, collaborating with C-suite executives to align recruitment with organizational objectives. I successfully exceeded targets by recruiting over 80 clinical providers annually while managing more than 50 active requisitions. My focus on technology and innovation allowed me to leverage multiple platforms and create recruitment videos that expanded our candidate pipeline by 40%.

Throughout my career, I have founded and scaled a healthcare recruitment firm, directed corporate physician recruitment for a 72-hospital rural healthcare system, and managed specialized Emergency Medicine physician recruitment for high-acuity travel assignments. My leadership has resulted in significant cost reductions and organizational value generation through strategic recruitment initiatives.
