What I'm looking for

I’m seeking remote recruiting roles (contract or full-time) to scale high-growth teams, apply AI-driven sourcing, shorten time-to-hire, and build DEI-focused pipelines.

I am an agile, data-driven recruiter with 6+ years delivering fast, high-quality hires across G&A, IT, operations, product, and engineering.

At WebAI I built and executed a hiring strategy that scaled the team from 10 to 62 in 12 months and managed full-cycle recruiting across engineering, product, operations, and corporate functions.

At Nike I recruited Director+ roles and partnered with People Analytics to reduce time-to-fill by 20%, and at Zoom I supported executive and technical hiring through hypergrowth while developing DEI-driven pipelines and piloting AI-assisted sourcing.

I leverage AI sourcing tools and modern ATS workflows to speed hiring cycles, align stakeholders, and deliver measurable process improvements; I seek remote roles where I can continue scaling teams and improving hiring outcomes.
