Summary
I am an Onboarding and Orientation Specialist transitioning into life coaching, with a warm and collaborative presence at Pacific Legal Foundation. I am adept at enhancing hiring efficiency through people-driven and data-driven decision making, and effective candidate sourcing. I am skilled in onboarding processes and passionate about fostering positive candidate experiences. My favorite kind of work is supporting new hires, by building relationship and reliability with them in one-on-one appointments.
