Operations and talent coordinator driving process improvements and team success.
What I'm looking for
I am a results-driven operations and talent professional with extensive experience leading teams, improving processes, and delivering high-quality administrative and recruiting support. I advance organizational goals by quickly assessing business needs and implementing efficient strategies.
At Avantus (formerly 8minute Solar Energy), I progressed from Office Manager to People & Recruiting Coordinator to Talent Acquisition Coordinator, owning program design for new hire orientation and internship initiatives, and managing full-cycle recruiting and large-scale events.
My background includes operations coordination at Tiffany & Co. and SiriusXM/Automatic Labs where I handled high-value inventory, logistics, vendor relationships, scheduling, and event planning while maintaining strong customer service and employee engagement.
I combine a strong work ethic with technical proficiency across ATS and office platforms, a focus on continuous improvement, and a collaborative leadership style that fosters morale and drives measurable results.
