I help companies fill hard to fill technical roles and fix hiring processes that are slowing teams down. I work with enterprise and government organizations to identify where hiring breaks down, whether that’s unclear role expectations, slow processes, or misalignment between teams. From there, I help streamline recruiting and deliver qualified candidates quickly. My background includes recruiting across: Software Engineering Infrastructure and Cloud DevOps and Cybersecurity I don’t just source candidates. I partner with hiring teams to define what success looks like, improve hiring efficiency, and make sure the right people get hired without unnecessary delays.

I am part of a certified Microsoft Partner firm and leverage tools like Predictive Index to support better hiring decisions and long term team fit.
