What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build and scale talent acquisition in a fast-moving organization, partnering closely with leadership on workforce planning, hiring strategy, recruiting operations, and high-quality hiring across business, technical, and creative teams.

I've built and scaled full-cycle recruiting functions for Hitting Pros, partnering with founders and leadership on hiring strategy, workforce planning, recruiting operations, and new-facility launches.

At Disney, Activision Blizzard, and King, I recruited across marketing, creative, corporate, technical, and operations teams supporting brands and productions including Disney Streaming, Inside Out 2, Moana 2, World of Warcraft, Overwatch, Diablo, and Call of Duty. I completed 50+ global hires across LatAm, EMEA, APAC, and the EU, and reduced Disney time-to-fill by 32% through stronger intake, hiring-manager alignment, and candidate feedback loops.

I bring hands-on sourcing, structured interviewing, portfolio review, offer management, and stakeholder partnership to fast-moving organizations.
