Senior talent acquisition recruiter sourcing top healthcare candidates with data-driven, customer-first service.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
Over eight years of full cycle recruitment experience, I’ve delivered quality candidates for high volume roles in the healthcare and research sector. I’m known for using social media and external job boards (including LinkedIn, Indeed, and ZipRecruiter) to uncover top talent, while building strong, collaborative relationships with hiring partners.
In my current role as an Associate Recruiter-Sourcer for Correctional Managed Care at UTMB, I screen applicants for nursing, medication aides, and mental health roles. I identify and develop candidate pools using sourcing strategies like Boolean search, deep dives through ATS (Taleo) and external sites, and I verify certifications and licensures while staying closely aligned with hiring managers.
Previously, as a Senior Healthcare and Research Recruiter at UTMB and through multiple Talent Acquisition and Human Resources roles at Baylor College of Medicine, I partnered with executive leaders, handled intake calls, counseled teams on compensation and HR policies, and guided compliant hiring decisions (including EEOC guidelines and immigration documentation). I also leveraged systems like SuccessFactors, PeopleSoft, and SAP, and supported temporary staffing programs end-to-end—always with a focus on superior customer service.
