What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a recruiting or talent-acquisition role where I can manage full-cycle hiring, collaborate with hiring managers, and improve candidate experience in a structured, growth-oriented team.

I am an experienced talent acquisition professional with a strong background in full-cycle recruitment for retail banking and large organizations. I manage end-to-end hiring processes, build talent pipelines, and collaborate closely with hiring managers to deliver high-quality hires across multiple districts, using systems like Workday, SuccessFactors and LinkedIn.

I bring consultative recruiting, project and administrative coordination experience gained in fast-paced healthcare and corporate environments, including interview scheduling, candidate assessment, offer processing, and stakeholder communication. I am committed to creating smooth candidate experiences and delivering reliable hiring outcomes through organized processes and clear communication.
