With over 15 years of strategic talent acquisition experience in the life sciences industry, I specialize in building scalable talent pipelines, optimizing workforce strategies, and driving impactful change across diverse organizational landscapes. From global enterprises to fast-growing companies, I have a proven track record of aligning talent initiatives with business priorities, fostering collaboration, and creating high-performing teams that thrive in complex, regulated environments.As a first-generation Latina leader, I bring a global perspective to my work, translating lived experiences into actionable strategies that elevate diversity, equity, and inclusion. At MannKind Corporation, I lead efforts to design and execute innovative talent programs, including a best-in-class internship and co-op strategy that builds a sustainable pipeline of emerging talent.My approach combines a passion for process improvement, an eye for top-tier talent, and a commitment to fostering cultures of innovation and inclusion. As a people-first leader, I pride myself on building authentic relationships and leading through influence. And while I’m driven by data and results, I also appreciate the finer things—like a well-crafted whiskey and the ability to find humor even in the busiest days.
