I build talent pipelines, lead full-cycle recruiting, and strengthen workforce development across complex organizations.

I've led talent acquisition, organizational development, and workforce initiatives at Harris County Toll Road Authority, supporting technical, operational, exempt, non-exempt, and executive hiring.

I designed talent management and leadership development programs for a workforce of more than 1,000 employees, including a supervisor training program that improved manager effectiveness ratings by 20%. I also use workforce data and KPIs to improve productivity, retention, engagement, and organizational effectiveness.

Across a 20-year United States Army career and subsequent HR roles, I've managed high-volume recruiting, 30–50 concurrent requisitions, global recruiting teams, onboarding, compliance, and change management. I build practical hiring processes and partnerships that help organizations meet immediate talent needs while developing their people for the future.
