Career Highlight

"Within my first two years, I was proud to be promoted as Visa's first HBCU Recruiter, a role that allowed me to leverage my expertise in campus recruiting and deepen my scope within I&D. I formed new relationships with recruiting colleagues, Visa stakeholders, and campus partners to ensure that we attract, hire, and retain Black talent exclusively at Historically Black Colleges and Universities. Shortly after, my role elevated to driving campus sourcing strategies supporting all diversity initiatives. After much innovative design and cross-functional collaborations, I’m excited to have launched an early ID program that targets students from varied backgrounds and perspectives. During its pilot year, we received an 86 NPS score with the majority of students ranking the program as highly impactful."
