Vice President, Recruiting

I help jobseekers rediscover their value...and land roles they actually want.

For 20+ years, I’ve been on the other side of the hiring table: recruiting, interviewing, and working directly with hiring managers. I know what gets noticed, what gets ignored, and how decisions are really made. That’s what makes me different: I don’t guess what recruiters want; I *am* a recruiter, and I’ve gotten people hired in every kind of market...including this one.

Whether you’re struggling to get interviews, making a pivot, or trying to bounce back after a layoff, I’ll give you straightforward strategy and tools that actually work: resumes that highlight your impact, LinkedIn profiles that get found, and job search strategies that cut through the noise.

I’ve spent over 20 years creating momentum in top companies, and all I have to show for it are one hundred successful clients, thousands of their happy employees, and the expertise needed to uplevel your employee experience.

Oh, and a t-shirt.

I partner with the world’s top-performing companies to help them create a seamless employee journey, from the second they get a whisper of your existence — until they become your best brand ambassadors, singing your praises and beyond.

When you put me in the game, we don’t just implement new “systems.”

We take a deep-dive into your current internal systems and see where HR practices can be streamlined, so you save your staff some stress.

We create the company culture that calls out to your ideal employees so they’re begging to work for you — and then never wants to stop. (Hint: This means your employee training costs go down since you’ll have a way lower turnover.)

And we make sure that every touchpoint of your business supports the giant vision you have for where you want things to go. (Things mean you’ll finally look as good as you are and grow like gangbusters. You’re welcome.)

At the end of the day, your business’ success depends on the success and satisfaction of the people you’ve hired. 

I’m here to make sure they’re the happiest campers around. (S’mores not included.)

I'm passionate about making a difference. Where there's a need, you'll find me.

As a Pediatric Sjogren's Champion, Advocate, Fundraiser, and Researcher for this rare disease working with the Sjogren's Foundation and CARRA, I know a thing or two about persuasion, grit, and determination. And when I'm not busy changing the world, I host my two podcasts: Let's (Not) Talk About It and RallyBright's Real Talk. As an Employee Benefits & Technology Whiz and Talent Champion Council Founding Member, I always seek ways to help others. 

So if you're looking for someone who knows how to get the seemingly impossible done, you've found her! Let's talk about how I can help you achieve your goals. 

Want to chat about...

- Creating a company culture that calls out to your ideal employees, so they're begging to work for you — and then never want to stop.

- Elevating and promoting conversation around mental health, leadership, and team dynamics or people ops in general...

- Building awareness and fundraising for research for Pediatric Sjogren's.

- Creating a customer journey through Marketing, Sales, and Customer Success to surprise, delight, and build brand ambassadors for your business.
