My favorite thing to do is problem solve and luckily I have multiple ways she gets to do this every day. Whether it be working with clients as an Account Executive to fill their hiring needs, finding a just right job for a candidate as a Senior Recruiter, or figuring out how to fit an episode of Friends with my dogs into my evening.

I started in the staffing industry as a fresh college graduate and have not turned back since! When I graduated from McKendree University with a degree in International Studies I opted out of the foreign affairs route and joined a non-profit as a Staffing Account Manager. I had no clue what I was signing up for but fell in love!

Since then, I have completed my MBA and started studying for my CPMP. Everyday is an opportunity to learn something new!

I have been in the staffing industry for over 5 years assisting people find new opportunities in various industries.

I am an experienced Technical Recruiter with over 15 years of experience working in Staffing Industry. Over 12 of those years have been focused in filling role within the Automotive industry.

Hello! A Michigan native, I moved to the west coast after graduating from MSU with a degree in education. I lived and worked as an actor and substitute teacher in Los Angeles for twelve years before relocating back to Michigan so I could experience real seasons again. I'm thrilled to be back in the Mitten and to get to work with amazing clients and candidates to find the best possible matches on both ends.
