SUMMARY

Knowledgeable recruiter with 8 years of staffing multiple in industries and experience levels with quality employees. Self-motivated employee who is always eager for a new challenge. I stand by the mantra: "Work smarter, not harder" and have applied that to my recent roles by creating tools and resources to improve the efficiency of the recruiting, documentation and onboarding processes. Recently, I have been studying for my PHR and taking a stronger hand in compensation negotiation. I have spent the last five years in remote/hybrid positions working with people across the US and in Canada, Costa Rica and the Dominican Republic. In my next position, I hope to expand my professional experience in Human Resources to business planning and employee relations.
