## What I'm looking for

```text
I am seeking a remote talent acquisition leadership role at a mission-driven, high-growth company where I can build and lead a recruiting team while still owning critical technical searches. I thrive in fast-moving environments, partnering closely with leaders and using data to build hiring processes that scale.
```

## About

```text
I am a talent acquisition leader with more than 10 years of experience building and leading recruiting teams. My career has covered nearly every seat in recruiting, from admin and coordination to full-cycle technical recruiting to building and leading talent acquisition functions. I have done this work inside a Fortune 500 company, at high-growth startups, and in early-stage, pre-launch environments.

I lead as a player-coach. I coach recruiters, partner closely with hiring managers and senior leaders, and still carry the hardest searches myself, especially engineering and hardware roles. I build the capacity models, hiring forecasts, and dashboards that help leaders plan ahead and make clear decisions.

I am a U.S. military veteran trained at the Defense Language Institute, and I speak Spanish and American Sign Language. Outside of recruiting, I have built AI-powered apps that run on their own, and I own a family farm in Louisiana.
