What I'm looking for

I'm looking to apply my talent acquisition, HR operations, and relationship-building experience in a role where I can improve hiring outcomes, support workforce needs, and build effective recruiting strategies.

I'm currently a Military Education and Career Advisor at Grand Canyon University, counseling military members and their families on higher education decisions and career paths. I also partner with businesses, military bases, and professional organizations to build awareness of degree options and benefits.

Previously at Banfield Pet Hospital, I led regional veterinarian recruiting across 50+ locations and consistently onboarded 24 doctors annually. I earned recognition for a 98% interview-to-hire ratio in 2024 and developed recruiting strategies that streamlined interviews.

I've also delivered high-volume full-cycle recruiting and HR operations results at Signature Healthcare at Home, Ashley Furniture, and Apollo Education Group, including 133 annual hires, improved I-9 and WOTC compliance, and $3.2 million in unemployment and tax-credit savings.
