What I'm looking for

I seek a patient-centered healthcare organization where I can lead high-volume physician/APP recruitment, improve hiring pipelines, mentor recruiters, and use data to support strategic workforce planning.

I am a results-driven healthcare recruiter with six years of dedicated experience in physician and advanced practice provider (APP) recruitment and eight years in professional sales. I build and manage scalable pipelines across multiple specialties and geographies, implement recruitment strategies aligned to clinical workforce goals, and partner with leaders to meet hiring targets while ensuring compliance and strong candidate experience.

I have a proven track record of high-volume hiring and process improvement — including managing 50–70 requisitions concurrently, delivering a record 117 hires in one month, and supporting recruitment operations across 122 locations in 12 states. I emphasize data-driven decision making, recruiter mentorship, cross-functional collaboration, and maintaining regulatory readiness to support organizational growth and high-value care outcomes.
