About

💬 I’ve always been passionate about helping people do their best work—and that passion naturally led me to a career in HR. What started with recruiting early-career talent has evolved into a deeper commitment to designing equitable, human-first systems that scale. Whether it’s onboarding, engagement, or performance enablement, I love building experiences that empower both people and the business. 🎓 My foundation is rooted in both education and action: I hold a Master’s in Organizational Leadership and Development and certifications in Scrum (CSM) and DEI in the Workplace. I’ve had the opportunity to grow across a range of environments—from the fast-paced, startup energy of GQR to hyper growth at TikTok, and most recently, supporting recruiting efforts at GitHub. Across each experience, I’ve expanded my understanding of talent programs, people operations, and data-informed HR strategy. 🧠 I bring a balanced mindset to my work—curious, adaptable, and driven to create meaningful impact. I thrive in fast-paced environments, value collaboration, and believe in leading with empathy while delivering with precision. I’m known for navigating ambiguity with optimism and turning challenges into opportunities for scale and structure. 🚀 My passion continues to center around building inclusive, insightful, and operationally sound people programs. I’m energized by work that blends analytics, people care, and strategy. Whether I’m streamlining a feedback loop or advising on comp planning, my goal is the same: create people-first solutions that move organizations forward. Areas of Expertise: Recruiting Strategy & Early Talent Programs, Full-cycle recruiting for SWE, DS, ML, and GTM early-career roles, Cross-Functional Collaboration (HRBPs, DEI, Comp, People Ops), People Operations & Strategy, Workday & Workforce Analytics, Process Optimization & Project Ownership, Culture-Driven Systems Thinking
