What I'm looking for

I’m seeking talent acquisition or senior recruiting roles where I can lead proactive sourcing, improve hiring processes, and partner with leadership to scale teams and retention.

I am a results-oriented, high-energy executive recruiter and sourcing specialist with extensive experience partnering with client management and candidates to fill roles across healthcare, finance, operations, sales, and executive leadership. I have a proven track record in proactive sourcing, interview coaching, process improvement, and building relationships that deliver growth, retention, and hiring outcomes.

Throughout my career I’ve built and led recruiting initiatives for staffing firms, RPO providers, and in-house talent teams—sourcing C-level to individual contributors, placing healthcare providers, and filling managerial and operational roles. I leverage applicant tracking systems and niche job boards, lead client strategy calls, and consistently drive measurable hiring improvements.
