I didn't come to AI through a computer science degree or a tech startup. I came to it the same way I've approached everything in my career — I got curious.

For over two decades, I've worked in talent acquisition across a range of industries, companies, and roles. From high-volume recruiting to executive-level searches, I know how to find the right people for the right roles. I've built strong sourcing strategies, learned how to read a market, and spent my career matching people with opportunity.

Somewhere along the way, I started tinkering with AI tools — not because someone told me to, but because I wanted to see what was possible. What started as casual experimentation turned into real projects: a sourcing assistant that saves recruiters hours of work, a daily AI news digest I automate and curate, and a growing collection of "party tricks" that show people what AI can actually do when you stop being afraid of it.

I believe the best way to understand AI is to use it. Not to read about it, not to attend a webinar about it — to sit down, get your hands dirty, and build something. That's my approach, and it's what I want to help others do too.

When I'm not recruiting or experimenting with AI, my world revolves around the people I love. I'm a wife, a mom, and the kind of friend who shows up. Family and community are at the center of everything I do — they're the reason I care so much about helping people build careers that actually work for their lives. And when I need to recharge, you'll find me running, in a kickboxing class, lifting weights, or out on a paddleboard. I bring the same energy to all of it — show up, push yourself, learn something new.
