About

I am a Human Capital professional specializing in IT, with over 10 years of recruitment and HR Management experience. Am I hands-on? Absolutely! However, I do more than just recruitment. I partner with leaders at various companies to identify roadblocks in their current process, and introduce best practices; this could take on many forms: program development (onboarding, retention, customer service, etc), workforce planning, change management, etc. I truly believe that a business' human capital is their most important asset. I ensure the companies I work with are well equipped and on track for success.
