What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to leverage my recruiting expertise while fostering a collaborative and innovative company culture.

I am an accomplished and data-driven talent acquisition specialist with proven skills in recruiting, staffing management, and human resources. My analytical thinking enables me to succeed under pressure while delivering excellence in my work. I pride myself on establishing genuine relationships with candidates and internal stakeholders alike.

Currently, I serve as a Talent Acquisition Specialist at American Honda Motor Co., Inc., where I manage the full cycle recruiting process for IT, Marketing, and CX roles. My responsibilities include collaborating with hiring managers, facilitating communication between applicants and hiring teams, and ensuring a transparent hiring process. I have successfully identified gaps in the interview funnel and recommended proactive changes to improve our recruitment strategy.

Previously, I worked as a Co-op Talent Acquisition Specialist, where I provided recruiting guidance across various divisions and assisted with onboarding new hires. My experience also includes roles as an Agency Recruiter and HR Specialist, where I collaborated with account executives and maintained strong relationships with skilled craftsmen employees. I am passionate about attracting top-tier talent and being a brand ambassador for my organization.
