What I'm looking for

I seek a dynamic HR role that fosters employee growth and supports organizational development.

I am a dedicated Human Resources professional currently pursuing my Master of Science in Human Resources Management at the University of Cincinnati, where I maintain a GPA of 3.9. My academic journey has equipped me with a strong foundation in HR principles, complemented by hands-on experience in various HR roles. I have successfully managed the recruiting process, improved applicant experiences, and facilitated professional development opportunities.

In my recent role as a Student Housing Hiring Coordinator, I streamlined the hiring process and enhanced communication between applicants and hiring managers, significantly improving the time-to-hire. My internship at the Cincinnati Art Museum allowed me to support the open enrollment process for over 200 employees, demonstrating my ability to handle complex HR tasks efficiently. I am passionate about creating inclusive work environments and have actively contributed to initiatives that broaden talent pools and enhance employee engagement.
