About

I am driven by an inherent curiosity. I'm curious about people and their motivations around work. I enjoy learning not just what people do, but why they do it! I have experience in focusing on diversity, inclusion and retention objectives for multiple organizations, having served as the initial point of contact for internal and external partners, with a strong focus on partnering with ERGs, diversity organizations, and key internal cross-functional teams. It is my goal to ensure consistent recruiting, interviewing, hiring and promotion processes (including management of agencies, external vendors and contingent workforce) to support positive candidate, employee and hiring manager experiences.
