What I'm looking for

I seek senior leadership roles in talent acquisition where I can build or scale TA functions, drive data-led improvements, mentor teams, and deliver high-touch, candidate-first hiring at pace.

I am an AIHR-certified senior recruiter and recruiting manager with over a decade of experience leading full-cycle talent acquisition across technology, healthcare, sales, finance, legal, and marketing.

I build TA functions from the ground up, have led teams up to 12 direct reports, and scaled hiring rapidly at startups and enterprise organizations while implementing data-driven KPIs.

My strengths include passive sourcing using LinkedIn Recruiter, Boolean/X-ray searches, ATS migrations (Greenhouse to Lever), and reducing agency costs through targeted executive and technical recruiting.

I am passionate about candidate-first experiences, diversity initiatives, process improvements that cut time-to-fill and cost-per-hire, and partnering with leadership to meet aggressive hiring goals.
