Über mich

I aim to increase satisfaction, happiness, and joy (for hiring managers and candidates as a recruiter). I do this by connecting the right people with the right positions based upon culture, passion, and skills. I do this with open, transparent, and consistent communication. I do this by coming up with ways to revolutionize recruiting using my passion for learning and innovation. I am a tech-savvy, marketing-minded, and innovative talent acquisition expert with over 20 years of recruiting experience in a trustworthy and transparent way. My sweet spot is technical recruiting, but I also greatly enjoy recruiting for finance & accounting, sales, and marketing professionals. I dream of one day being the first in-house recruiter for a remote-first startup and being able to create a truly great talent acquisition function with a focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) and belonging (DEIB).
