What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters team growth and values diversity.

I am a seasoned Talent Acquisition leader with extensive experience in both growth-stage startups and established global organizations. My career has spanned various industries, including Food Tech, Agriculture, Consumer Products, Beauty, and Retail. I am driven by data and dedicated to delivering high-impact results, with a proven track record of scaling teams and processes to support high-growth hiring.

At Bowery Farming, I led a team of recruiters responsible for hiring top talent across all functions, achieving a remarkable 62% increase in headcount during peak growth. My commitment to team development has resulted in multiple promotions within my team, and I have championed initiatives that significantly improved diversity metrics. I am passionate about building high-performing teams and fostering an inclusive workplace culture.

Previously, I served as the Director of Talent Acquisition at L’Oreal USA, where I led full-cycle recruitment across various brands and divisions. My strategic approach to talent acquisition has consistently reduced time-to-hire and improved gender representation. I am eager to bring my expertise in talent acquisition and team leadership to a forward-thinking organization.
