Talent Acquisition partner specializing in technical and healthcare recruiting with data-driven sourcing.
What I'm looking for
I am a versatile Talent Acquisition professional with 7+ years of experience delivering high-impact recruiting solutions across technical, healthcare, and corporate environments.
I partner with engineering and hiring leaders to translate complex workforce needs into targeted sourcing strategies, leading full-cycle recruitment for software engineers, SREs, DevOps, data scientists, and clinical roles while maintaining excellent candidate experience.
My strengths include advanced Boolean and X-Ray search techniques, ATS management, workflow optimization, and designing sourcing plays leveraging LinkedIn, GitHub, and Stack Overflow to engage passive candidates in competitive markets.
I have driven measurable improvements—reducing time-to-fill, processing high-volume application pipelines, producing a technical stack reference guide to improve intake quality, and standardizing recruiting operations to support forecasting and stakeholder reporting.
