About

One day, over a decade ago, I tripped and fell into the recruiting industry... and I haven't looked back since! Here are some things I think I’m pretty decent at: -Leading effective talent acquisition teams 🏆 -Partnering with leaders to improve talent acquisition strategy♟️ -Eating croissants and other delicious pastries 🥐 -Fostering a culture of empowerment, growth, and lightheartedness 📈 -Creating a healthy balance between automation/efficiency & a personable candidate experience 🤖 -Building strategic recruiting processes and creative employer branding strategies ⭐️ -Talking to people that are way (way, way, way) smarter than me 🧠 -Refusing to take “because we’ve always done it this way” as an answer 🙅🏻‍♀️ -Leading DEI efforts to ensure a more equitable hiring process 💜 -Launching company-wide leadership and development trainings 📚 -Standing up for what I believe in (especially when that means giving a voice to those without) 🔊 -Making hiring more efficient and fun! 🤗
