I currently have over 13 years of experience working as a Talent Advisor and Strategic Business Partner, where I've supported various industries across the country.  My experience has ranged from helping small start ups build out their core foundation to supporting large, established companies looking to continue to scale at aggressive rates.  For the last 5 years, I've had the pleasure of working in the Veterinary Industry, which has been by far, the most challenging industry I've ever worked in (including my time tech recruiting in San Francisco).

I love recruiting because of the connectivity and collaboration it requires in order to successfully find the perfect candidate with the right skill set.  I love recruiting in difficult industries that require heavy sourcing because of the innovation and creativity it takes to get the attention of those candidates that don't even know they're looking for a new career.  

When I'm not working, you can find me at home trying to raise a well adjusted 3 year old during a pandemic.  I think she's probably fairing better than I am through most of it!
