About

As a seasoned Recruiter with a passion for talent acquisition and people, I've had the privilege of making a meaningful impact in the tech industry. With experience spanning global talent acquisition at Google and North American recruiting at Meta, I've developed a unique ability to identify and nurture top talent. My purpose goes beyond just finding great candidates, it's about investing in the generations behind me. I believe that by empowering and mentoring young minds, we can create a brighter future for all. That's why I'm dedicated to coaching and mentoring through youth football and basketball, helping kids develop not only their athletic skills but also valuable life lessons like teamwork, discipline, and perseverance. Giving back to my community is also essential to me, which is why I'm actively involved with my fraternity, participating in various initiatives that promote education, health, and wellness. Through these efforts, I aim to make a positive difference in the lives of those around me. As a recruiter, I'm driven by a desire to connect talented individuals with opportunities that will help them grow and thrive. But as a person, I'm motivated by a sense of purpose that goes far beyond the workplace. I believe that by living this purpose every day, I can inspire others to do the same, creating a ripple effect of kindness, compassion, and positive change. Let's connect and explore how we can work together to build a better future for all!
