What I'm looking for

I seek a role where I can lead full-cycle and strategic hiring, mentor teams, streamline processes, and partner with senior leaders to scale talent in life sciences or healthcare.

I am a senior talent acquisition leader with 15+ years of hands-on full-cycle recruiting experience across pharma, biotech, healthcare, IT, education, and retail. I consistently deliver high-volume hiring results while closing hard-to-fill leadership positions under tight deadlines.

My strengths include building pipelines from scratch, direct sourcing, and partnering closely with senior leaders to align hiring with business strategy. I have placed 200+ candidates in a single year and maintained strong acceptance rates through a high-touch candidate journey.

I am proficient with Workday, Taleo, Bullhorn, Greenhouse, LinkedIn Recruiter, Indeed Resume, Salesforce and use data and reporting to optimize time-to-fill, pipeline quality and process adherence. I advise stakeholders on market trends and compensation to enable competitive hiring decisions.

I also mentor junior team members, streamline processes to reduce time-to-hire, and maintain compliance with ATS and SOPs. My approach is relationship-driven, focused on clear communication, dependable delivery, and improving hiring outcomes for clients and internal partners.
