About

TL;DR: i've built across Google, YouTube, Indeed, Meta, and high-growth startup environments. i may come from big tech, but my work is scrappy, and my background spans across: recruiting, recruiting/TA operations, onboarding and learning programs, process design, stakeholder management, recruiting analytics, and cross-functional program execution. increasingly, my work focuses on talent research & intelligence, operational strategy, AI-enabled workflows, and scalable systems that improve how teams hire and operate. :) tools & platforms: Google Workspace • ATS: Greenhouse, Ashby, Workday, iCIMS • CRMs: GEM, HireEZ, SeekOut, Eightfold AI • Asana • Notion • Monday • AI productivity tools: Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini • Jira • Tableau • Google Apps Script • SQL (learning)
