From shaping strategies to building exceptional teams, I've worked across both Agency and In-house settings and left my mark in almost every industry. I have seen the amazing impact of getting talent RIGHT for companies of all types and sizes. It's truly transformative! Now, I'm thrilled to launch my next big adventure and continue my story by founding the Talent Advisory. Armed with 2 decades of experience, I'm excited to offer consulting and fractional services tailored to support your organization's most critical function - your people!

A national healthcare organization with 40,000 employees and $26 billion in revenue needed a game plan for talent as the escalating staffing shortage continued. And then I got hired! From entry-level positions to executive roles, I led a team of 65 to attract and hire 12,000 people annually, setting the strategy that kept the wheels turning. Not only did I steer multiple teams to hit these ambitious goals, but I also elevated HR services by delivering high-impact talent solutions that caught the attention of our executive leaders. It was all about bringing in the right people to fuel a thriving workforce, even in the toughest of times!

Leading the Talent Acquisition and Employee Retention strategy for a $1.2 billion healthcare system in the beginning of one of the toughest staffing shortages in history was no small feat. My team of 35+ didn’t just find talent; we proactively sourced high-quality candidates by building real connections that made the hiring process a standout experience. Our approach fostered an advisory relationship with executive stakeholders, helping us stay aligned with the system’s needs. By blending internal data, market insights, creative attraction strategies, and third-party resources, I led the team that drove 3,000 hires across 6 hospitals, 4 LTC facilities, and several physician practices - keeping the system running when it mattered most.

Imagine a college with 19 campuses, a booming online division, and $100 million in revenue - on a mission to grow. That’s where I took the lead, heading a team of 50+ managers, recruiters, and sourcers to fuel that growth. Our challenge wasn’t just meeting recruiting goals - it was about keeping the momentum going and driving a 15% revenue increase year-over-year throughout my entire tenure. Along the way, we didn’t just settle for filling positions. We revamped the entire hiring process, fine-tuning it to boost both the quality and retention of new hires, creating lasting impact across the organization.

In the dynamic world of agency recruiting, I led a team of 30+ across four locations, transforming hiring strategies for clients in Healthcare, Technology, Financial Services, and more. We didn’t just fill their positions; we crafted tailored hiring solutions that drove our clients’ success! Behind the scenes, I managed P&L, budgeting, and performance metrics, ensuring our operations were as effective as the strategies we delivered. I set the direction and my team's dedication to excellence helped establish our reputation as a trusted talent partner.

Managing multiple branches of a staffing agency, I embarked on a mission to elevate client outcomes and redefine their approach to recruitment. Leading teams of 22 for both temporary and permanent placements, we embraced the challenge of meeting diverse hiring needs while driving revenue growth for the agency year over year. As I managed P&L, budget, and nurtured key client relationships, we implemented initiatives that not only enhanced candidate experiences but also built trust and rapport with hiring managers. This holistic approach transformed how we served our clients, leading to successful placements and lasting partnerships that propelled both their success and ours.

Promoted to manage and over-see all recruiting, sales, and operational activities for 2 start up branch locations of an IT recruiting firm after my first year! Successfully drove recruiting strategies to staff multiple IT clients in a highly competitive technology market, design process and systems for a start up location, and built amazing teams. I led the strategic vision that provided a model for new branches of the organization to launch in other markets and won the designation of "trailblazer" by my peers as a result.
