About

Professional summary

I am a results-driven aviation recruiter and talent acquisition specialist with 8+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience across aviation MRO, manufacturing, healthcare, logistics, and professional services.

I specialize in sourcing and placing blue-collar aviation maintenance professionals, including A&P Mechanics, Aircraft Painters, Structures Technicians, NDT Inspectors, and QA/QC personnel in multi-market contract staffing environments.

I have deep hands-on experience with PCRecruiter, Bullhorn, iCIMS, Workday, Taleo, and Phenom ATS platforms, and I use advanced Boolean search strategies to identify and engage passive candidates.

I am known for building proactive talent pipelines, reducing time-to-fill, and maintaining a high-touch candidate experience from sourcing through placement.

I also bring strong experience in stakeholder management, offer negotiation, workforce planning, compliance, and high-volume recruiting across both hourly and salaried roles.

I am comfortable working remotely and managing concurrent requisitions while partnering closely with hiring managers and account teams to deliver strong hiring outcomes.
