Recruiter extraordinaire who has a passion for talent mapping, cyber-sleuthing, networking, and using all the resources, channels, and methods at my disposal to discover the best-fit job candidates. I really enjoy helping people elevate their careers and employers improve their talent pool. The feeling I receive when a candidate says “yes!” to an offer or the elated response of a hiring manager who just hired a top performer never gets old. I am looking for a job opportunity that will help me build on my foundations and enhance my career progression. Please feel free to contact me for further discussion:
