What I'm looking for

I seek a role where I can scale technical and GTM teams, improve recruiting operations with data and AI, and shape inclusive hiring practices.

I am a Talent Acquisition Partner with 10+ years building and scaling technical and go-to-market teams across SaaS, healthcare tech, and data-driven startups. I partner with founders and hiring managers to design inclusive recruiting strategies and deliver a high-touch candidate experience.

At Bayer I drove targeted sourcing across backend, cloud, and data engineering using AI-driven tools, speeding time-to-fill by 35% and increasing URG technical hires by 20% through DEI initiatives and mentoring.

I built recruiting functions from the ground up at startups like Robin and Metromile, hiring across engineering, product, sales, and operations while owning employer branding, ATS/HRIS implementation, and workforce planning to support rapid growth.

I leverage recruiting operations and analytics (Greenhouse, Lever), AI sourcing platforms (HireEZ, SeekOut, Eightfold), and structured interview programs to optimize hiring quality, time-to-fill, and equitable leveling frameworks.
