About

I’m a recruitment leader with 14 years of experience driving full-cycle talent acquisition, workforce planning, and client partnerships across manufacturing, industrial, and corporate environments. Skilled in building and leading high-performing teams, I’ve successfully placed talent at every level, from skilled trades to senior executives, while creating a positive candidate and stakeholder experience. Known for being approachable, adaptable, and results-focused, I excel in relationship building, recruitment strategy, and guiding teams to deliver measurable results. Currently, I’m proud to serve as a Talent Acquisition Specialist at Ice River Sustainable Solutions, where I support recruitment and retention programs for a Canadian, family-owned company recognized as one of Canada’s Greenest Employers 2024. In addition to my professional work, I’m pursuing a Human Resources Management Post-Graduate Certificate at Fanshawe College and working toward my CHRP designation. Ice River has embraced this journey, valuing the continuous learning and development I bring to my role and encouraging me to apply new ideas and theories to strengthen talent strategy. I’m excited to continue blending hands-on recruitment expertise with leadership experience and continuous learning, contributing to both immediate hiring success and long-term organizational growth.
