What I'm looking for

I am seeking a senior talent acquisition role focused on global early-career program design, data-driven university partnerships, DEI initiatives, and opportunities to shape strategy and scale teams.

I am an accomplished Talent Acquisition leader with 8+ years of experience building and scaling university campus recruiting, early-career leadership programs, and DEI-focused talent strategies across global organizations. I design and implement governance models, tiered campus approaches, and data-driven recruiting processes that improve retention, promotion rates, and succession planning.

I have led RPO and internal TA teams, partnered with People Analytics and HRIS to build PowerBI dashboards and optimize workforce planning, and created high-impact university partnerships including HBCU immersion initiatives. I consistently deliver measurable pipeline growth, recruiting efficiency, and employer brand visibility while advising on talent technologies and program design.
