Jan 2014 - Present • 12 yrs 8 mos
10+ years of progressive experience in talent acquisition, recruiting, and people leadership across startup and high-growth environments, including Director and VP-level leadership. Led talent acquisition and recruiting strategy across corporate, clinical, and operational functions, with responsibility for hiring strategy, recruitment processes, interview design, candidate evaluation, team leadership, and scalable talent infrastructure. Partnered directly with founders, executives, and senior leaders to identify hiring priorities, strengthen decision-making, improve recruiting processes, and build teams during periods of growth and organizational change. My experience spans both sides of hiring—from evaluating and interviewing candidates to designing and leading the strategies, processes, and teams responsible for attracting and hiring top talent.
