I wanted to become a recruiter when I saw the positive impact my hires were making in a previous company I was working as an HR Director. Not only did I see the results but I also saw that goals were being met for both the company and the employees. That's when I realized that I had a talent for matching candidates to the right roles. I enjoyed seeing the synergy and the success.

Can you share a professional achievement you're particularly proud of?
Of course landing big clients or filling direct hire positions is always an achievement, but my biggest achievements are when I hear how I helped change an applicants life. My proudest moment was when a young man came into my office about 3 years after I found him a job and he told me that because of the position I got him he found his career, his wife, and they are now expecting a baby boy! It is moments like those that got me into this field and moments like those that keep me in it!

What's your favorite way to start the day?
Waking up my son! His smile each morning is the best way to start the day.
