I'm a relationship-driven talent acquisition professional with 12+ years of experience leading full-cycle recruiting across corporate, agency, and executive search settings. I specialize in partnering with hiring leaders to attract high-performing, diverse talent in functions ranging from corporate and creative to sales and executive leadership. My experience spans global tech, research, and finance firms, where I’ve built recruitment strategies that reduce time-to-fill, elevate candidate experience, and support business growth. My career began in Child Protective Services—so helping people advance their lives is truly at the core of what I do. I bring empathy, focus, and strategic thinking into every conversation. If you’re hiring talent or building a recruiting team—I’d love to connect.
