About

I am a Talent Acquisition professional with four years of experience leading full-cycle recruitment across diverse industries, including technology, manufacturing, healthcare, and professional services. My career began in marketing, where I partnered closely with Talent Acquisition teams to create employer branding campaigns, candidate-facing materials, and recruitment marketing strategies that attracted top talent. This experience inspired my transition into recruiting, where I’ve since built a proven track record in: • Managing high-volume requisitions (30+ open roles quarterly) and filling 100+ positions during periods of rapid growth. • Developing hiring strategies with business leaders, improving time-to-fill by up to 20% and aligning pipelines with evolving workforce needs. • Leveraging ATS platforms (Workday, UKG, iCIMS, Jobvite, Bullhorn) and sourcing tools (LinkedIn Recruiter, Indeed, ZipRecruiter, job boards) to identify and engage niche and hard-to-fill candidates. • Enhancing onboarding and candidate experience, driving measurable gains in new-hire satisfaction and retention. I’m passionate about connecting people with meaningful opportunities and helping organizations scale through efficient, data-driven hiring strategies.
