Extensive HR/Recruiting experience with a strong background in recruiting for a wide variety of technical and non-technical skill sets. My industry experience includes e-commerce, travel & hospitality, consulting, staffing and software development. My previous experience and professional interests include recruiting trends, technologies and techniques, employee relations, and employment law.

Currently, I am the Sr. Manager, Human Resources at Match.com, a unique organization that is committed to bringing people together in relationships that bring meaning and depth to their lives.

My team's role is to do for someone’s professional life what Match.com does for our customers’ personal lives. In doing so, our challenge is to find candidates with the skills and passion that make us successful. Ultimately, our goal is to find top notch talent that will allow Match.com to remain the market leader.
