Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of working with Pace alumni. Each individual consistently proved to be a grounded, results-driven, high-performing leader. That continuous caliber of talent made a lasting impression on me and made me eager to contribute to the university\u2019s mission.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, I welcomed the opportunity to return to higher education. It is truly fulfilling to play an active role in guiding, supporting, and shaping the leaders of tomorrow.<\/p>\n<p>How do you contribute toward the success of Pace?<\/p>\n<p>I often describe the Talent Acquisition (TA) team as the individuals who set the pace of the organization&#8217;s brand. The TA team holds the honor of being the very first touchpoint for every new hire.<\/p>\n<p>In partnership with the university\u2019s hiring leaders, TA carefully maps the knowledge, skills, and abilities required for every role. Student-facing or operational, we directly secure the human capital vital to executing Pace\u2019s strategic vision, fostering an environment where talent thrives and furthers our commitment to Opportunitas and student success.<\/p>\n<p>What is your favorite part about your job?<\/p>\n<p>For many people who reflect on success, their career is almost always central to the narrative, shaping not just their livelihood, but their personal brand and identity.<\/p>\n<p>Talent Acquisition sits at the intersection of professional growth and personal transformation. Opening doors that alter career trajectories and transform lives creating lasting personal impact.<\/p>\n<p>What do you enjoy doing in your free time to relax?<\/p>\n<p>NYC is all about the experience. From a blindfolded sensory sculpting session at Unorthodox (which I highly recommend) to high-energy group scavenger hunts through Grand Central and The Met, these moments may not always be relaxing, but they are always memorable.<\/p>\n<p>What would be your ultimate getaway vacation destination?<\/p>\n<p>My travel bucket list spans into two categories. Domestically, I would love to visit every US national park and spot bison in the wild\u2014from a safe distance, of course.<\/p>\n<p>Internationally, top on my list is the Fiji Islands. Beyond the turquoise waters, warm tropical weather, and beautiful landscapes, I would love to experience firsthand: stepping ahead of time &#8211; literally. The 180-degree meridian passes through the island of Taveuni, meaning I would be able to stand with one foot in today and the other in yesterday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Image What attracted you to Pace?
