About

Senior Talent Acquisition Partner with deep experience recruiting across logistics, transportation, corporate, and technical environments. I specialize in full-cycle recruiting, CDL driver hiring, and navigating DOT/DMCSA-regulated processes, partnering closely with hiring managers, HRBP's, and Compliance to make informed, risk-aware hiring decisions. I've supported high-volume, multi-state operations for more than a decade, managing 25-45 requisitions at a time while building proactive sourcing strategies, strengthening pipelines, and improving hiring workflows. My background spans union operations, corporate and technical recruiting, early-career hiring, and large-scale workforce planning across NY/NJ and the Northeast. I'm knowing for my "can-do" attitude, strong stakeholder partnership, and ability to balance speed, quality, and compliance in fast-moving environments. Whether advising leaders on market insights, optimizing interview processes, or enhancing candidate experience, I focus on delivering talent solutions that support business goals and operational readiness.
