About Me

I help professionals navigate the job search with the perspective of someone who has spent nearly two decades recruiting and leading talent acquisition teams.

My experience spans technology, SaaS, cybersecurity, healthcare technology, telecommunications and federal/government hiring, from individual contributors through executive roles.

I help clients understand what recruiters and hiring managers are really looking for, strengthen how they position their experience, improve resumes and networking strategies, prepare for interviews and approach the hiring process with greater focus and confidence.
