About Antonia K.

I’m a people-first talent professional with experience spanning recruiting, internship programming, mentorship program design, and employee engagement.Over the past few years, I’ve worked across the full talent lifecycle, managing end-to-end recruiting, leading early career initiatives, and supporting programs that strengthen culture, belonging, and retention. Whether building partnerships with universities, launching a mentorship program, or helping shape a candidate’s first impression, I approach my work with thoughtfulness, structure, and a deep respect for people.I’m especially passionate about creating intentional experiences, from how we recruit, to how we onboard, to how we grow and develop talent. My goal is always to bridge gaps, build trust, and deliver people strategies that align with both business needs and human needs.
