About

I’m a Senior Technical Campus Recruiter at The Walt Disney Company, where I lead intern hiring for our Studio Technology segment - supporting iconic brands like Lucasfilm, Industrial Light & Magic, Walt Disney Animation Studios, and Walt Disney Studios. I manage full-cycle recruitment from strategy and stakeholder alignment to offer delivery, while mentoring up-and-coming recruiters and driving inclusive hiring practices. With over 8 years of experience in technical recruiting, my journey began at Bandwidth, Inc., where I grew from a Technical Recruiter to Senior Technical Recruiter, then transitioned into a Technical Project Manager role supporting an engineering team. That experience gave me a deeper understanding of how tech teams operate and strengthened my ability to align talent strategies with technical needs. I later took over Bandwidth’s intern program as Talent Acquisition Program Manager- leading all aspects of recruitment and program execution, and building a high-conversion pipeline of early talent. Now at Disney, I bring that blend of recruiting, project management, and program leadership to deliver thoughtful, high-impact hiring strategies for future technologists and storytellers. 🎓 MBA in Human Resources from UNC Wilmington 🌀 Professional Scrum Master 🌱 Passionate about mentorship, diversity in tech, and giving back through Disney VoluntEARS Let’s connect—especially if you're passionate about technology, storytelling, or launching careers that shape the future of entertainment.
