What I'm looking for
I’m a veteran operations, recruiting, and people-development professional with 10+ years of combined experience and nearly 8 years of U.S. Navy service. I lead distributed workflows, manage high-volume candidate pipelines, and deliver candidate-centered onboarding in high-pressure environments.
In my Navy roles, I’ve mentored 43+ Future Sailors with 100% retention in one cycle, completed quality assurance on 1,083 applicant contract packages, and supported a four-recruiter team as Assistant Recruiter in Charge. I bring a rare blend of full-cycle recruiting, people operations, training and onboarding, compliance/records management, and executive administration—ready to support remote-first, globally distributed organizations across U.S. and APAC time zones.
