About

Professional summary

I am an experienced technical recruiting and talent acquisition professional with a strong background in cleared hiring, defense, aerospace, healthcare, and enterprise technology environments.

I have led full-cycle recruiting efforts for highly specialized roles across software engineering, cybersecurity, infrastructure, engineering, and program management, with a consistent focus on hard-to-fill and mission-critical positions.

My experience includes partnering closely with hiring managers, executives, and cross-functional stakeholders to build pipelines, manage requisitions, improve time-to-fill, and support hiring strategies aligned to business goals.

I have recruited across government and commercial environments, including work tied to DOD, Space Force, AWS, and healthcare systems, and I am comfortable operating in regulated, high-compliance settings.

I also bring hands-on experience with sourcing tools, ATS platforms, reporting, dashboards, and recruiting analytics, along with a strong understanding of candidate engagement, offer negotiation, and workforce planning.

In addition to recruiting, I have supported technical help desk and IT operations functions, which gives me a practical understanding of the roles and technologies I recruit for.

I am known for being relationship-driven, metrics-focused, and persistent in building strong talent pipelines while delivering quality hires quickly and effectively.
