I work closely with CEOs and leadership teams to define hiring strategy, calibrate candidate profiles, and guide decision-making throughout the hiring process.In addition to supporting employers, I provide career coaching and outplacement services to professionals navigating career transitions. I help individuals clarify their strengths, position their experience effectively, and approach their job search with confidence and strategy.Prior to Turning the Corner HR, I recruited technical and professional talent at companies including Alteryx, Pie Insurance, and Zayo Group, where I specialized in data-driven recruiting strategies and supported engineering, product, and corporate teams.Turning the Corner HR is a retained recruiting and HR consulting firm focused on helping organizations build thriving workplaces.
