What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to leverage my extensive recruiting experience in a dynamic environment, focusing on strategic talent acquisition and compliance in the federal sector.

I am a resourceful and highly experienced Senior Technical Recruiter and Talent Acquisition Leader with 20 years of success in leading full lifecycle recruiting for technical and security-cleared talent across the Department of Defense, Intelligence Community, and federal civilian agencies. My practical, hands-on approach has enabled me to build strong pipelines, cultivate lasting candidate relationships, and align talent strategy with fast-moving contract and program demands.

Throughout my career, I have specialized in sourcing and hiring professionals with TS/SCI and Polygraph clearances for roles in cybersecurity, cloud architecture, software development, DevOps, AI/ML, and systems engineering. I bring deep knowledge of federal hiring regulations and advanced sourcing techniques, ensuring compliance and efficiency in recruitment processes. My key achievements include successfully hiring hundreds of security-cleared professionals and providing hiring market intelligence to optimize competitive recruiting strategies.
