Energetic Talent Acquisition Partner with a passion for remote work.
What I'm looking for
As a dedicated Talent Acquisition Partner with over 7 years of experience, I specialize in niche technical recruiting and strategic sourcing for global tech companies across the U.S. and EMEA. My journey has been marked by a commitment to building genuine connections and fostering an inclusive workplace culture. I have successfully managed up to 40 requisitions simultaneously, recruiting over 150 technical professionals in under two years, which resulted in significant cost savings for my employers.
In my current role as Co-Founder and Community Lead at TotallyTA, I have built a thriving networking community for talent acquisition professionals, emphasizing the importance of collaboration and support. My previous experience at Raytheon Technologies and Jacobs has equipped me with the skills to maintain high offer acceptance rates and quality-of-hire ratios through data-driven insights and empathic candidate experiences. I am passionate about supporting remote-first companies that prioritize work-life balance and diversity.
