About

As a dynamic & results-oriented professional in global talent acquisition and recruitment, I bring a proven track record of driving impactful hiring strategies and fostering cross-functional collaboration. With over 8 years of experience spanning recruitment program management, HR operations, and international talent acquisition, I thrive in delivering seamless candidate experiences and empowering organizations to attract top-tier talent. In my current role as a Recruiting Program Specialist at Expedia Group, I lead transformative hiring initiatives, blending data-driven decision-making with empathetic stakeholder management. My journey has been enriched with opportunities to spearhead Disability Inclusion and Hiring Training, design recruitment programs that prioritize diversity, & craft scalable processes that elevate both candidate and business outcomes. Previously, I honed my expertise as an HR Associate at Microsoft, mastering HR systems like iCIMS, streamlining reporting & analytics, & contributing to talent strategies at scale. My foundation in international recruitment at Calance Software strengthened my ability to manage high-volume hiring across geographies while maintaining a sharp focus on candidate experience. Core Competencies: Recruitment Program Design & Optimization Change Management & Cross-Functional Collaboration Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion (DEI) Initiatives Candidate Experience Enhancement Data Analysis & Process Automation What fuels me is the belief that recruitment is more than filling roles; it’s about building bridges between talent & opportunity. Whether it's strategizing for a hiring event, mentoring a new teammate, or conducting leadership training, my approach is guided by empathy, innovation, & a commitment to excellence. Fun Fact: Outside of work, I am a proud parent & an advocate for autism awareness. Sharing my personal journey has deepened my understanding of inclusion—not just as a workplace value, but as a way of life.
