SUMMARY:

I love recruiting because I get to connect with a broad range of people and help them achieve their goals–and both employers and candidates tell me they love working with me! My own goal is to be the top-producing recruiter on a high-energy team that is collaborative but recognizes and financially rewards high performance.
