I was introduced into the "Recruiting world" roughly 10 years ago. I had attended a warehouse open house hiring event as an applicant and ended up an internal employee. I was helping candidates with their paper applications and the Branch Manager was working the event by herself and appreciated me helping her with everything. It wasn't expected, but every since then I have been able to perfect my craft. I have about 7 years of staffing experience in many different areas such as: direct hires, daily labor, construction, IT, industrial, manufacturing, healthcare, and customer service positions. I am currently in my junior year at University of West Georgia for my Business Management Degree. I love to play lacrosse with my daughters and just being active in sports. I have been playing lacrosse since I was 8 years old and even got a scholarship for college. Now, it is a sport I would love to past down to my girls and watch them play from the stands. I have a desire to help people get to the next level and achieve goals.
