I partner with leadership teams to shape hiring strategy and define roles based on evolving business needs and team capability gaps. My work spans full-time and freelance hiring across strategy, account management, and cross-functional roles, with a focus on building clear, consistent, and scalable evaluation frameworks. I specialize in translating market insight and functional expertise into stronger role definitions, sharper hiring briefs, and more aligned decision-making across stakeholders. By improving structure and clarity in the hiring process, I help teams increase candidate quality, speed up decision-making, and enhance the overall hiring experience.

At SYPartners, I directed end-to-end recruitment across the US and UAE for full-time and freelance roles spanning project management, strategy, UX, and visual design. I led global hiring efforts across disciplines and seniority levels, from early-career talent through C-suite, while partnering closely with discipline leaders to improve hiring accuracy through skills-based evaluation frameworks. This work contributed to a 30% reduction in time-to-fill over 14 months and a 55% decrease in freelance hiring timelines for key client projects. I also played a key role in strengthening recruiting infrastructure by leading Greenhouse ATS adoption and training, developing junior members of the People Team, and supporting broader talent initiatives including internships, recruitment events, and early-career programs. In parallel, I helped shape the firm’s culture by pioneering SYPartners’ first Employee Resource Group, supporting a broader focus on inclusion and organizational development.

Freelance Talent Lead at a multidisciplinary production studio specializing in animation, mixed media, and post-production.

Working closely with producers and leadership, I helped staff creative teams for major brand campaigns including Apple, Google, Hyundai, IKEA, and Kroger. My focus was on ensuring the right mix of technical skill and creative fit to support fast-moving, high-visibility production work.

At R/GA, I led recruitment for both freelance and full-time talent across a broad range of disciplines, with a particular focus on design, strategy, media, and analytics.

During my time there, I successfully filled more than 60 roles and was recognized with the agency's Collaborator of the Year award for my partnership and impact across the business.
