What I'm looking for

I seek a role where I can scale HR operations, improve employee experience, use data-driven people analytics, and partner cross-functionally in a values-driven, growth-oriented company.

I am a proactive People & Talent Operations professional with 6+ years of HR experience focused on onboarding, employee lifecycle management, scaling teams, and engagement. I thrive in fast-paced, remote environments and prioritize process improvement and excellent employee experiences.

In my current role I streamlined HR operations, migrated systems to BambooHR, applied regression analysis to inform development initiatives, and administered over 5,000 hiring assessments, contributing to a marked increase in retention and headcount growth across multiple businesses.

I consistently deliver measurable results — reducing recruiting and HR spend, driving significant retention gains, and exceeding hiring quotas — while working cross-functionally to build values-driven, scalable programs that foster positive company culture.
