What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a fast-paced startup where I can partner with founders, streamline operations with strong SOPs, and own recruitment and people processes—so teams execute quickly, clearly, and with high accountability.

I’m an operations and strategy professional who partners closely with founders to drive high-priority execution. From executive support to cross-functional coordination, I help streamline workflows and build repeatable systems that keep teams moving—especially in remote environments.

In people operations, I’ve owned end-to-end recruitment and onboarding, coordinating stakeholders through sourcing, screening, interviews, and candidate experience. I enjoy taking ownership of hiring needs, building efficient processes, and creating a positive, high-performing environment for teams.

One standout example is my work with a children’s book publishing initiative, where I helped build the venture from the ground up as an early team member. I led remote team recruitment and coordination for creative roles, supported partnerships with marketing and printing vendors, and managed project timelines across creative, marketing, and production.
