I believe that building the future starts with hiring the people who will shape it. In my current role at Etched, a semiconductor manufacturing startup, I help connect brilliant minds to a mission rooted in innovation and sustainability. Working at the heart of a fast-paced tech environment has taught me how thoughtful recruiting practices can make or break a company’s ability to grow responsibly and efficiently. My background in sustainability fuels how I think about talent: systems, processes, and people must be built to last. That same long-term mindset guides how I support candidates, empower hiring teams, and contribute to cultures of continuous improvement. I’m most fulfilled when helping organizations grow intentionally — where every hire contributes to progress that’s both technological and human.
