Connecting exceptional talent with the organizations shaping the future of packaging, medical devices, and life sciences.
About
I'm a talent acquisition professional with a track record across packaging, medical devices, and life sciences. Currently an Executive Recruiter at Cover + Associates, I place senior-level talent across packaging, manufacturing, logistics, CPG, and OEM sectors.
Before moving into executive search, I spent several years placing regulatory, labeling, packaging, and quality professionals in medical device and pharmaceutical organizations — experience that sharpens every search I run today.
My approach is consultative and relationship-first: I invest deeply in understanding what drives each candidate and what each client truly needs, creating placements that last.
