At Korn Ferry, I lead full-cycle recruiting across manufacturing and financial services, hiring for sales, HR, engineering, supply chain, project management, and executive leadership.

I'm the primary subject matter expert for Workday utilization, early-career recruiting, social sourcing, talent mapping, job-posting optimization, and recruiter training. I also support new RPO client onboarding through process design, Workday integration, and implementation training.

I've designed SOPs adopted across multiple business lines, helping recruiting teams standardize workflows and scale into new client engagements. My work includes multi-region workflow analysis, audit and business reporting, billing review, vendor management, and data initiatives that align talent strategy with business goals.

Across Korn Ferry, SRS Distribution, and Orion Novotus, I've recruited for specialized and hard-to-fill roles in pharma, IT, supply chain, oil and gas, and manufacturing. I reduced time-to-fill by 18%, increased offer acceptance by 28%, achieved 98% hiring-manager satisfaction, and earned the Korn Ferry Global Customer Service Award in 2017.
