Summary
Hello and thank you for viewing my profile! I am an enthusiastic Senior Recruiter with over 10 years of experience in recruiting and onboarding. I am passionate about helping my clients all while staying laser-focused on using the most effective recruitment strategies to win the absolute best talent out there.
My journey in human resources began at the prestigious Ohio State Medical Center, where I laid down a rock-solid foundation in recruiting and learned best practices in the industry.

I've been so fortunate to be surrounded by amazing leaders who have nurtured my growth in business development, negotiations, and leadership. I'm confident my strong work ethic, experience, and positive attitude will not only meet but exceed expectations, and bring tremendous value to any team I'm a part of.
