Transforming workforce development through community and technology on how veterans and civilian individuals access meaningful careers.. An inclusive leadership expert and MBA graduate with a decade of success in high-volume, global talent acquisition.
Founder @ The Opp Guild · New Braunfels, Texas, US
I am the Founder of The Opp Guild, a career community and workforce development company dedicated to bridging the gap between diverse talent and inclusive employers. I am building a platform that offers management solutions, training, and a dedicated ecosystem to empower job seekers—specifically veterans, individuals with disabilities, and military spouses.
Prior to launching my own venture, I held leadership roles as a Head of Talent and a Director of Digital Engagement. In these capacities, I led global recruitment strategies for C-suite and technical roles across North America, EMEA, and APAC, managing remote teams and complex operations in multiple countries. My background is deeply rooted in operational efficiency; I have consistently streamlined hiring processes and implemented data-driven strategies to improve retention and reducing time-to-hire for major organizations.
I hold an MBA and a Graduate Certificate in Business Analytics, along with certifications in Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) and LEAN Six Sigma YB. Based in Texas and Illinois, I am committed to building partnerships that drive workforce innovation.

The Opp Guild is a workforce development ecosystem designed to fix the broken hiring pipeline for the military and disability communities. While traditional job boards offer static lists, we provide a "living" platform that combines community-led support, expert readiness training, and direct employer partnerships.
Led by a former Head of Talent and Global Recruiting strategist with over a decade of experience , The Opp Guild bridges the gap between intention and retention. We don't just find diverse talent; we prepare them to succeed. We are building the premier pipeline for organizations that are serious about inclusive hiring and want a partner who speaks their language.
