WINNER SPOTLIGHT
Career Highlight
"Have you ever been told that if you can believe it, you can achieve it? While that might seem corny, there's a lot of truth to it. I know from personal experience. In just under two years, I have had the privilege of leading Verizon’s US Campus team. We started as a traditional staffing team, and in a short period of time, doubled our size while forging our place as a core talent segment within Talent Acquisition. It’s been far from easy, but through tremendous leadership in Human Resources, belief in the possibility of what is possible, and a team joined together by a common goal, we have moved mountains together. We grew from a small staffing team, to a strategic University Relations powerhouse; complete with reporting operations, diversity ambassadors, a seat at the table with workforce planning, and gaining approval to centralized costs across five business units. We quadrupled our campus events, dove firsthand into strategic partnerships, and overhauled our selection process as one unified team. And we aren’t done. Because we are empowered to achieve even more, together."
