About

Recruiting meets program management. I've leveraged my operations background to bring structure and strategy to talent acquisition. My foundation in budget management, stakeholder alignment, and process optimization helps me deliver hiring results that matter—whether that's closing hard-to-fill technical roles or building scalable recruiting programs. Having worked with industry leaders like Tableau, Google, Airbnb, Stripe, and Discord, I've seen what great teams can accomplish and I'm passionate about helping companies build theirs.
