With over 7 years of experience as a senior leader in talent acquisition, I am passionate about driving change and growth for innovative and diverse organizations. I am currently the Senior Director, Talent Acquisition at Hyperscience, a software company that automates document processing with artificial intelligence. In this role, I oversee the global recruiting organization, including industry hiring,early career program development, and recruiting operations. I partner with leaders and executives to plan and execute hiring strategies, especially for VP+ level searches and global expansion. I also consult and help implement competency based hiring models across all areas of the organization. I believe that every person, process, and organization should be in a state of change for good or for awesome. I am an agent for change who gets stuff done, ships results, and empowers others. I don't believe in working at companies that treat their employees like fossil fuels. I invest in humans as a renewable resource. I only want to participate in projects that inspire me and challenge me, and that's why I love working at Hyperscience.

Since 2021 I've worked with hundreds of leaders to develop aligned, meaningful, and sustainable ways of leading and working. I've walked the path myself for more than a decade in leadership positions, going from a first time exec who tried to emulate the leadership styles around me (massive failure!) to a seasoned leader showing up with integrity, care, and joyful (sometimes mischievous) creativity—qualities that are authnically me. This journey has taught me that it is possible to center human dignity while embracing difficult conversations, making tough decisions, and leading through challenging times. And that we each bring our own flavor to how we show up for ourselves, for our work, and for others. I come to this work in service of supporting leaders to release the ways they’ve hidden themselves and recognize that leadership is exactly the right place to share their unique and special gifts. I do this because I know first-hand how toxic and exhausting organizational life can be. And as the systems we live in become more shaky, punctured regularly by events that turn individuals, communities, cities, and even countries upside down, and it can be damn hard to show up at work and feel like anything we do matters, let alone lead authentically. The key is to flip this on its head. Authentic leadership is essential in these times because it reminds us of what matters most. We start by remembering our values and committments, and from there move out into the world, rather than let the events of the world consume us. We start with where we are, and who we are, and from this place take the next step. Through presence, wholeness, and connection, authentic leaders see what others miss, take right action, and build networks of care in service of healthy teams and business results.
