About

I build Talent Acquisition systems that eliminate chaos, stabilize high-volume staffing, and give leaders the structure they need to hire consistently and on time. I specialize in turning reactive, last-minute hiring into simple, repeatable workflows that actually get used in the real world. My approach is straightforward: Fix the process → build the pipeline → train the leaders → protect the workforce. Selected Impact: • Reduced offer turnaround from days to minutes by implementing digital workflows • Increased hiring efficiency from 38% → 72% through funnel redesign • Stabilized Special Education staffing with proactive pipelines and realistic job previews • Strengthened retention by reducing late-stage fallout and improving candidate readiness I love the operational side of TA — the metrics, the design, the adoption coaching, and the foresight required to prevent vacancy disruption before it happens. If your organization needs a builder who can create a hiring engine that works, let’s connect.
