In March 2021, I joined WillowTree as a Senior Talent Acquisition Strategist, where I focused on scaling the Intern, New Grad, and Apprentice programs. Within five months, I was promoted to Associate Director, Early Talent, and worked to build a best-in-class talent programs team. Today, Talent Programs is an award-winning team of five supporting programs across the U.S. and Canada.
WillowTree is a full-service digital product consultancy based in Charlottesville, VA. WillowTree was acquired by TELUS International in January, 2023.
In June 2023, I became the Senior Director of Talent Acquisition. In this role, I continue to oversee Talent Programs and lead the TA team as a whole. I manage a team of 16 talent acquisition professionals and am responsible for our recruiting strategy from entry-level to the C-Suite, ensuring we continue to attract the best talent in the industry.
I am particularly proud of my work building the Digital Development Academy in partnership with Piedmont Virginia Community College. This two-year degree program provides high school graduates and those seeking to advance in or change careers with the digital and data skills needed to fill current and emerging jobs in software development.

My early recruiting career was spent at MongoDB, where I played an instrumental role in the company's growth pre and post IPO. In September 2016, I joined MongoDB as the company's first Campus Recruiting Coordinator, where I supported two recruiters and scheduled hundreds of interviews. In just five months, I was promoted to Campus Recruiter, and over the next 2.5 years, I visited elite universities across the country and recruited hundreds of deeply technical interns and new grads.
In August 2019, I moved into a Senior Campus Recruiter role where my responsibilities shifted to higher-level strategy, metrics, reporting, and mentoring junior team members. In 2020, I presented at the virtual URx Forward Conference on data-driven decision-making for determining target universities.
The work I am most proud of at MongoDB was creating a development program for sophomore interns in 2020, which allowed the company to maintain its full intern class without rescinding any offers due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This program was a critical part of our strategy for navigating the challenges posed by the pandemic and ensured that we continued to attract top students.

In the spring of 2016, I established a new chapter at American University where I recruited more than 100 founding members.
