What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build and scale strategic, inclusive recruiting functions where I can improve hiring operations, develop teams, use data to drive decisions, and deliver high-quality talent for growing organizations.

I've built and optimized recruiting functions for venture-backed companies, mission-driven nonprofits, and Fortune 500 organizations, filling 100+ roles across engineering, product, sales, and operations.

As an HR Consultant and Talent Acquisition Strategist, I design full-cycle recruitment strategies, implement ATS and sourcing infrastructure, and build KPI dashboards that have reduced time-to-hire by 25% on average. My diversity initiatives increased candidate pipelines by 40% and improved diverse hire rates by 35%.

At DO&CO, I led six recruiters across four regions to support 150+ annual hires, reduced external recruiting spend by 20%, and improved candidate experience scores by 35%.

I've also led talent strategy for 400+ employees across 15+ small businesses, launched workforce training initiatives, coached founders and executives, and built inclusive teams in underserved communities.
