What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values innovation in recruitment and offers opportunities for professional growth.

I am a proven talent acquisition specialist with over ten years of experience in full-cycle recruiting and strategic talent sourcing. My career has been marked by a commitment to driving hiring success and enhancing the candidate experience across diverse, high-growth environments. At The Home Depot, a Fortune 20 company, I significantly contributed to talent initiatives that streamlined processes and improved overall recruitment efficiency.

Throughout my career, I have filled critical corporate, executive, sales, technical, and field operations roles by tailoring my strategies to meet the unique needs of each environment. I have consistently surpassed hiring KPIs, earning multiple awards, including 11 Core Values honors at The Home Depot for exceptional results. My innovative approach to recruitment technology has allowed me to automate candidate marketing and sourcing campaigns, ultimately enhancing engagement strategies and improving team performance.

As a mentor, I have guided sourcers and recruiters to strengthen onboarding processes and elevate sourcing quality. My experience includes leading recruitment for diverse regions and collaborating with hiring managers to ensure alignment on candidate profiles. I am passionate about leveraging market intelligence and competitive mapping to remove hiring barriers and deliver top talent to organizations.
