About

🏆 From Professional Athlete to Talent Acquisition Leader 🏆 As a former Division 1 and professional athlete, I bring a competitive spirit and teamwork mentality to the corporate world. With over 10 years of expertise in recruiting and talent strategy, I have consistently driven success in late-stage startups and large-scale tech companies. I excel in active listening and believe in the power of thorough preparation, consistent practice, and continuous self-improvement. ✨ Professional Journey ✨ I have had the honor of collaborating with and learning from top leaders in the tech industry. My experience encompasses a wide range of companies, from IPO-stage ventures to prominent tech entertainment giants. ✨ Core Competencies ✨ Specialized focus in Product Management, Product Design, Software Engineering, and Customer Insights. ✨ Approach & Passion ✨ I am an avid learner driven by the pursuit of knowledge and organizational success. I am dedicated to helping business partners overcome challenges and reach their goals through honest, transparent, and productive collaboration. ✨ Personal Interests ✨ - Community: Cherishing moments with friends and family, sharing meals, and creating joyful memories. - Sports: As a Division 1 Linebacker for the University of Oregon football team, I was a two-time team captain. My professional athletic career, although brief due to injuries, instilled in me a deep appreciation for mental and physical training. Mindfulness is integral to my life. -Author: I published my first children’s book on mental health, “Why Don’t Big Boys Cry,” in 2021, which became a bestseller at Barnes & Noble during its first week.
