• As the Founder and Recruiting Consultant behind Zen DNA Consulting, I partner with organizations and agencies to design and deliver hiring strategies that align people, process, and purpose.
• I help leaders identify the right talent not just for skills, but for culture fit, communication style, and long-term retention. My work blends the precision of recruiting systems with the empathy of human connection; ensuring every interaction supports clarity, belonging, and alignment.
• From optimizing workflows in Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) ie. Workday Recruiting, to coaching hiring teams on effective communication and interview strategy, I help transform recruiting from a reactive process into a thoughtful, human-centered experience that strengthens culture and drives retention.
