Kate Vanvalkenburg, Recruiting Specialist at TotalMed

About Kate

Kate's Bio

I am a Believer, a mother to a little boy and a crazy plant lady. I grew up in rural New York state and now live in Little Rock, Arkansas of all places, after living in NYC, LA and Denver. I love Lake Ouachita as it reminds me of going to the Adirondacks as a child. My friends call me reliable, empathetic and level-headed, but I was not always this way. My story is one of redemption and grace and now I have found my calling in the healthcare community. I worked in hospitality for over a decade; it is deeply engrained in me to be of service. Fun fact: I am just now learning to cook: a difficult transition from eating a gourmet meal every day I worked in a fine dining restaurant to making my own dinner!

Recruiting Since
2025

Why I love to recruit
I love the connections I make with people from all walks of life.

When I'm not working I like to
Take nature walks, cozy up to the fire with a classic Chateauneuf-du-Pape or float around in the lake with my son, Worth.

About Kate Vanvalkenburg:

At first, I was hesitant to work with TotalMed because I wanted to stick with one travel agency. Then Kate reached out to me on Vivian, and I decided to give it a try. Since connecting, she’s been nothing but supportive, responsive, and helpful. She’s submitted contracts for me and provided great feedback throughout the process. I’m glad I stepped outside my comfort zone and gave TotalMed a chance. Now, I’m hoping to land my first travel contract with Kate and excited to see what’s next!

About Kate Vanvalkenburg:

Kate has been very helpful and made things simple. Any questions I had she would respond in a timely manner. She took extra time on the phone answering questions when I received an offer. She’s friendly and easy to talk with. I would recommend her to others looking for travel positions!
