What I'm looking for

I seek a strategic, values-driven recruiting role where I can lead inclusive hiring, impact time-to-fill, and collaborate cross-functionally in a remote-friendly environment.

I am an empathetic, data-driven recruiter with 5+ years of experience hiring across tech, healthcare, and professional services, from high-volume roles to senior executive searches. I have a strong track record driving rapid scaling, achieving high offer acceptance rates, and partnering with stakeholders to reduce time-to-fill and improve hiring outcomes.

I lead DEIB-focused sourcing and committee work, build durable candidate and client relationships, and deliver measurable business impact—recovering lost accounts, generating six-figure gross profit, and repeatedly exceeding sourcing KPIs. I thrive in remote, values-driven teams where I can contribute strategically and operationally.
