About
I work at the messy, magical intersection of people, hiring, and growth.With over 15 years of experience building and scaling recruiting organizations within high-growth, multi-business unit environments, I specialize in transforming talent acquisition from a back-office function into a data-driven engine for revenue and operational success. Most recently, as a Strategic Talent Leader, I’ve served as a trusted advisor to CHROs and executive leadership, translating complex business goals into scalable, inclusive recruitment plans. Whether it’s designing strategies to support 2,900+ annual hires or partnering with Finance to align headcount forecasting with margin goals, I thrive on building the systems that allow people and companies to reach their highest potential. I am particularly passionate about the future of work—leveraging AI-enabled tools, automation, and advanced analytics to improve hiring quality and candidate experience at scale.
