About

Howdy, I am Alex! (She/Her) I’m a Technical Recruiter with extensive DEI Program Management experience bringing 14+ years of experience scaling engineering and product teams at Amazon, AWS, Wayfair, Zappos, and Google. I specialize in full-cycle technical hiring across software engineering, cybersecurity, robotics, product, and cloud infrastructure. What sets me apart is my ability to build trust with hiring teams, create inclusive recruiting strategies, and consistently close complex roles—all while elevating the candidate experience. My work blends relationship- building, thoughtful process design, and a long-term approach to talent engagement. Career highlights include: ➥ Senior Sourcing Recruiter, Amazon – Appointed DEI Champion for NA Stores TA; launched inclusive sourcing sessions and embedded equitable recruiting practices across multiple teams. ➥ Senior Technical Recruiter, Zappos – Achieved a 94% offer acceptance rate (16 of 17) in seven months through high-touch engagement and personalized closing strategies. ➥ Technical Sourcing Recruiter, AWS – Created “A Day in the Life at AWS,” a virtual event that re-engaged 25% of panel-ready dropouts and is still used as a recruiting resource. ➥ Senior Technical Recruiter, Beacon Hill Technologies – Helped launch and grow the Austin office to $720K in annual sales within one year by building strong technical pipelines and delivering consistent results. I value intention over urgency, and I approach recruiting as both a craft and a partnership. I take pride in making the hiring process smoother, smarter, and more human for everyone involved.

Northwestern mutual financial network, northern ohio group

Financial Representative

Oct 2010Jan 2013 · 2 yrs 3 mos · Fairlawn, Ohio

  • Northwestern Mutual has been helping families and businesses achieve financial security for 160 years. Through a distinctive, whole-picture planning approach including both insurance and investments, we empower people to be financially confident. We combine the expertise of our financial professionals with a personalized digital experience and leading-edge technology to best serve our clients.
  • During my time at Northwestern Mutual, I was a part of their prestigious internship program that has possessed one of the nation's top 10 internships for the past fifteen years +. As an intern, I obtained my securities registration and state licenses for life, health, accident and long term care insurance. I was responsible for my own business development from the ground up. I was tasked with prospecting to obtain my own clientele and maintaining long term relationships with my clients in order to help them achieve their financial objectives. I helped my clients work towards financial security by meeting with them on a regular basis to present and recommend solutions that pertained to their life objectives. As an intern, I was chosen to be the sole team captain of the college internship program mentoring a team of 10-15. I assisted the college unit director in recruitment strategy, recruitment at career fairs, developing a business network for referral generation, assisting in running weekly accountability meetings and being a mentor to the other interns.
  • In 2012 I was recognized at the company's nationwide annual meeting as the #6 female Intern in the country as well as being ranked as a top 100 Intern. These numbers were based off of sales/production.
