Career Highlight

"In rebuilding Rubrik's Early Talent Programs, I integrated DE&I principles into each part of the program’s foundation. In the last two years, I have developed diversity-focused strategies for recruiting and retaining early talent, coached hiring teams on best practices for leading inclusive and unbiased interview processes, and partnered with company leadership to create a consistent and streamlined process to provide full-time conversion opportunities to interns. These efforts resulted in the successful hiring and conversions of cohorts with more than 80% diverse representation over the last two years."
