Hi! I'm a recruiter who writes, and that combination is what makes my resumes, LinkedIn profiles, and HR content actually work, not just sound good. By day, I'm an HR and Talent Acquisition Coordinator at a financial services firm, where I screen resumes against detailed scoring rubrics, build new-hire onboarding programs, and write the recruiting and HR materials companies actually use: job descriptions, candidate communications, onboarding scripts. I know firsthand what makes a recruiter stop scrolling, and what gets a strong candidate filtered out by an ATS before a human ever sees their resume. I'm also a trained writer. I have a BA in English from UC Berkeley with a regular practice writing essays on Substack. The writing itself holds up. I have a clear structure, a real voice, no generic filler. Where I can help: Resume and LinkedIn rewrites built to clear ATS screening and catch a recruiter's eye Job descriptions, onboarding copy, and employer branding content that sounds human instead of like a policy manual General content writing: blog posts, newsletters, web copy, with a clean voice and fast turnaround Careful, detail-oriented data entry and admin support I'm also comfortable flexing into broader HR support: employee communications, policy documentation, project coordination, if your needs go beyond writing. I believe in clear, frequent communication and only put out work I'd put my own name on. Let's work together!
