With over two years of experience as a Corporate Recruiter at the US Navy, I specialize in full-cycle recruitment, strategic sourcing, and onboarding. By collaborating with regional leadership and leveraging partnerships with colleges and veteran resource groups, our team has significantly expanded candidate pipelines while enhancing organizational culture and mission readiness. My work prioritizes clear communication, efficient coordination, and a seamless experience for both candidates and hiring managers. Beyond recruitment, I contribute to operational resilience in my role as a Recruiter for the United States Navy Reserve, where I ensure documentation accuracy and support training programs. My mission is to align talent strategies with organizational goals, create meaningful engagement, and strengthen workforce capabilities in high-pressure environments.
