I’m an HR & Recruiting Director specializing in high-volume ABA and healthcare hiring, onboarding, and employee relations.

What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead HR and talent acquisition for growth-focused ABA or healthcare organizations—owning high-volume recruiting, compliant HR operations, and employee experience to improve performance and outcomes.

I’m an HR & Recruiting Director with proven success scaling ABA therapy and healthcare organizations. In my current role, I direct HR and recruiting across three locations and executed 250+ hires, driving a 214% increase in average weekly billable hours (700→2,200) over three years.

I’m at my best in high-volume recruitment and end-to-end people operations—building onboarding programs for clinical and administrative staff, conducting annual performance reviews, and serving as the primary employee relations contact. I investigate and resolve performance and conflict issues while maintaining clear, operational policies and incident reporting protocols.

I also lead the HR operations that keep teams running smoothly: payroll preparation, benefits administration, workers’ compensation, and 401(k) oversight, plus HRIS/ATS-driven workflows. Previously, I managed recruitment, onboarding, and HR administration for 200+ employees and handled compliance filings such as FMLA, disability, and workers’ comp.
