What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters growth, values collaboration, and emphasizes innovative recruiting strategies.

I am a strategic and mission-driven recruiting operations leader with over 10 years of experience in optimizing systems and leading high-volume, multi-national talent functions. My journey began as a military officer, where I honed my skills in building high-performing teams and streamlining processes. I am passionate about delivering exceptional candidate experiences and mentoring teams in fast-paced, growth-focused environments.

As the Founder and Owner of B Prepared, I successfully took the business from ideation to over $100k in revenue in its first full year. My focus on customer engagement strategies and operational efficiency led to a remarkable 100% growth in Q1 revenue year over year. Additionally, I have served as a Recruiting Operations Consultant, where I managed a $10M hiring project and developed scalable onboarding workflows that reduced time-to-hire by 20%.

Throughout my career, I have directed operations for large teams at Amazon Web Services and Amazon, implementing innovative hiring models and process improvements that significantly increased productivity and reduced costs. I thrive on leveraging data for informed decision-making and continuously seek opportunities for improvement in recruiting operations.
