Message

At TRILLIUM FOODS / FLAVOR REDDY FOODS, I progressed from the founder’s first hire into roles spanning executive support, HR, business operations, and recruiting. As Business Operations Manager, I designed a structured onboarding framework connecting recruiting handoffs, manager accountability, and new-hire integration.

I supported implementation and adoption of ADP Workforce Now and led the PEO RFP and selection process. In my current role as Recruiting & Engagement Manager, I lead full-cycle recruiting as the company’s sole internal recruiter and guide hiring managers and interview teams through candidate evaluation and selection.
