What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can lead full-cycle recruiting, optimize processes, coach teams, and deliver measurable operational and reporting improvements within collaborative, growth-oriented organizations.

I am a strategic, results-driven Recruiting Leader, Business Analyst and Project Coordinator with 15+ years delivering operational excellence, financial reporting and process optimization within large financial organizations.

I have built full-cycle recruiting processes, led cross-functional initiatives, improved workflows and implemented analytics-driven reporting that produced measurable ROI. I hold a Lean Six Sigma Green Belt and am a Certified Scrum Master, with active experience in hiring HRIS and technical roles across platforms like Workday, UKG, SAP and Oracle HCM.

I partner closely with stakeholders to design hiring roadmaps, streamline operations and coach teams on best practices, and I bring a track record of securing contract renewals, improving reporting efficiency and redesigning procedures to reduce cycle time.
