What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values data-driven insights and fosters flexible work/ life balance.

With over five years of experience in talent acquisition and human resources, I have honed my skills in full life cycle recruiting, data analysis, and project management. My journey began as a Recruiting Coordinator, where I managed candidate experiences and streamlined interview processes. I quickly advanced to roles such as Talent Acquisition Specialist and Technical Recruiter, where I successfully filled high-demand positions while increasing diversity hiring by 30% in technical spaces.

My analytical skills were further developed during my time as a Sr. HR Assistant at AWS, where I specialized in data analysis and designed report dashboards for executive-level review. I take pride in my ability to identify trends in HR metrics, HR budgets, and improve processes, which has led to significant cost savings and enhanced employee engagement. I am passionate about leveraging my expertise in a dynamic environment that values data-driven decision-making and effective communication.
