What I'm looking for

I'm seeking a senior talent acquisition or HR leadership role where I can build scalable hiring infrastructure, develop teams, partner with executives, and use data and AI to improve workforce outcomes.

I've built talent acquisition and HR functions from scratch at Victory Starts Now, reducing time-to-fill by 67% and achieving a 96% offer acceptance rate while supporting 200+ employees across 22+ sites. I recruited 120+ employees, including licensed clinicians, directors, and C-suite leaders, and led a seven-person HR and recruiting team.

Across Hillsides, Seek Business Capital, Tandym Group, and Talking Rain Beverage Company, I've delivered high-volume hiring, candidate database development, HRIS implementations, onboarding, payroll support, and recruiting analytics. I've consistently improved hiring speed, sourcing costs, retention, and candidate experience in nonprofit, healthcare, staffing, technology, and consumer environments.
