In My Own Words
I am a human resources professional with 2 years of talent acquisition and generalist experience. I seek to understand and pride myself on my ability to connect with stakeholders and understand the needs of the business. I am dynamic and progressive, comfortable with ambiguity and I believe in challenging status quo to ensure we are working in the most efficient and effective way. I have had responsibility for recruiting over different manufacturing plants and have managed the university recruiting efforts. I have run point on the development programs which focused on technical, financial and operations management positions. I am looking for a role where I may leverage my past experiences as well as learn so I may continue to grow personally and professionally.
