Talent Acquisition Leader | Career Coach | Workforce Strategy | Recruiting Operations | Leadership Development | Employer Branding | Hiring Manager EnablementI help companies hire smarter and professionals position themselves stronger in a changing, AI-driven job market. I am a Talent Acquisition Leader and Certified Career Coach who helps organizations build stronger hiring strategies and helps professionals clarify, communicate, and own their career value. Across corporate, retail, skilled trades, construction, electrical, HVAC, and high-volume operations, I have built and transformed recruiting functions that improve speed, quality, retention, candidate experience, and hiring manager accountability. My background includes full-cycle recruiting, executive search, high-volume hiring, workforce planning, employer branding, recruitment marketing, recruiting operations, KPI dashboards, behavioral assessments, interview training, and scalable talent pipelines. At Cummings Electrical, I helped transform recruiting performance by building real-time KPI visibility, strengthening recruiting operations, and redesigning assessment and hiring processes. This work reduced time-to-fill from 89 days to 9.5 days, decreased turnover from 69% to 27%, increased applicant volume, improved offer acceptance, and strengthened first-year retention. Previously, I led enterprise-wide talent acquisition for Tuesday Morning, supporting 500+ stores across 39 states while leading 15 recruiters. I have also led recruiting, workforce readiness, leadership development, and high-volume hiring initiatives for Bath & Body Works, Godiva, and other fast-paced organizations. Today, I coach professionals through Challenger, Gray & Christmas, supporting clients through career transition, resume strategy, LinkedIn optimization, interview preparation, networking strategy, executive presence, and personal branding. My coaching style is practical, honest, people-first, and rooted in helping clients translate
