What I'm looking for

I seek a role where I can scale hiring operations, lead and mentor recruiting teams, drive client retention and revenue, and build measurable sourcing programs.

I am an award-winning full-desk recruiter and recruitment manager with 7+ years driving full-cycle recruiting, client management, and strategic sourcing across healthcare, engineering, and tech industries.

I have expanded client accounts by 30% in six months, improved submission-to-hire ratios by 25%, and maintained 95% client retention through personalized service and consistent results.

I have led and mentored teams of 10–18+ recruiters, reduced onboarding time by 50% with new training modules, and scaled recruitment operations from startup to enterprise level while delivering measurable KPIs.

I model the behaviors I expect, foster a culture of excellence, and focus on revenue generation, client onboarding, and delivering top-tier talent to purpose-driven roles.
