What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead talent assessment, recruitment, and workforce strategy initiatives where I can advise leaders, build high-performing teams, improve hiring outcomes, and deliver compliant, data-driven organizational change.

I lead HR testing, validation, and recruitment strategy for Miami-Dade County, a $5.6B annual government entity. I oversee employment testing, executive searches, workforce restructuring, and high-stakes workforce decisions using data-driven analysis and regulatory guidance.

I've reduced time-to-fill by 40%, improved operational throughput by 8%, directed 20+ testing projects annually, and managed hiring for 55+ technical, non-technical, and executive roles. I also develop teams across Testing & Validation and Recruitment and build retention and succession strategies with departmental leaders.

Previously at Miami Dade College, I served as Interim Director, managed a $500K+ budget, increased proposal acceptance by 8%, and drove a 30% revenue increase through improved proposal processes and assessment services for law enforcement agencies.
