With over 5 years of experience in talent acquisition and external relations, I am passionate about connecting people with opportunities that match their skills, interests, and values. As the Assistant Director of the MacDonnell Career and Internship Center at Siena College, I aim to enhance the career development and employability of students and alumni by building and maintaining strategic partnerships with employers, alumni, and community organizations.In my previous role as a Senior Talent Acquisition Consultant at Pfizer, I was responsible for recruiting top talent for junior to mid-level scientific positions across the Vaccine R&D group. I applied my expertise in sourcing, interviewing, candidate selection, and offer development, while following global operating procedures and best practices. I also managed ad hoc recruitment projects and created talent pipeline strategies. Some of the skills that I leveraged and developed in this role include software implementation management, vendor management, and diversity and inclusion. I also hold certifications in unconscious bias and diversity, inclusion, and belonging from LinkedIn.
