What I'm looking for

I seek a role that values cultural transformation and offers opportunities for strategic HR initiatives.

As an accomplished HR leader, I specialize in creating environments where individuals feel valued and inspired to grow. My experience spans over a decade, during which I have successfully designed and implemented mission-driven policies that align with organizational goals. At TaskDrive LLC, I transformed team member satisfaction from 40% to 92% within a year through strategic cultural initiatives and comprehensive development programs.

My expertise in recruitment and talent acquisition has allowed me to source exceptional talent across diverse roles, from engineers to social media influencers. I have a proven track record of managing the full recruitment cycle, including onboarding and compliance, while fostering a collaborative team culture. My passion for data-driven strategies and agile methodologies ensures that I not only meet but exceed organizational expectations, driving both team and business success.
