About

After years of proudly serving in Naval Intelligence, working alongside some of the most mission driven and strategic minds in the military, I swapped my dress blues for denim and found a new mission: helping people thrive in their careers.Since then, I’ve spent the last decade immersed in the world of human resources and talent acquisition, building bridges between incredible people and life changing opportunities.I’m a relationship-driven leader who believes that clarity, consistency and connection are the foundation of great leadership. I communicate with intention, balancing professionalism with approachability, and I strive to create trust through transparency and follow-through.Throughout my career, I’ve learned that success isn’t just about execution; it’s about people. Whether I’m partnering with teams, clients or candidates, my goal is to make every interaction meaningful, to listen first and to move with purpose.I take pride in leading with empathy, setting a high standard, and building environments where people feel seen, supported, and inspired to perform at their best.
