Kristen brings over 20-years’ experience to her travel nurses. She loves finding out what her nurses want from their careers and making that happen for them. Kristen’s dedication to her nurses hasn’t gone unnoticed, as she was named Recruiter of the Year in 2007. While travel nurses may travel solo, Kristen ensures her travelers feel supported by her and TNAA every step of the way. Outside of work, you’ll find Kristen in San Diego with her husband, 2 children, and puppy.
I’m a wife, a mom to a sweet little girl, a Jesus lover, a foodie, and a beach girl at heart. I’ve been with TNAA since August 2022, and every day I grow more passionate about what I do! My main focus is helping my travelers find assignments that not only help them grow in their careers but also fit into their personal lives. I make it a priority to get to know my travelers on a personal level—doing so helps me better serve you, and I truly value the relationships I build. I’m constantly inspired by the dedication and passion of the healthcare professionals I have the privilege of working with—they’re making a difference every single day. My goal is to make the process as easy as possible, treat you like family, and always follow through on my promises.
Originally from Cleveland, Ohio, I graduated in 2016 with my Doctorate of Physical Therapy from Cleveland State University after a career change from tourism and marketing in Chicago, IL. I began traveling right after I passed the boards and got to experience almost every setting from sea to shining sea. From Ohio, to North Carolina, and then Washington, I loved my life as a travel PT! With friends new and old along the way, travel therapy let me hike, eat and explore all across the country. Whether it's seeing the sunrise in the mountains of Asheville, NC or trying new food next to Puget Sound, I am so grateful for all that travel PT allowed me to experience.
An Island boy at heart, I value the close-knit family bonds and the rich cultural heritage that comes with island life! I'm a sucker for cake and I'm addicted to the Netflix show Great British Bake Off!
If I had to sum myself up in three words, I'd say I'm authentic, driven, competitive, and adventurous. What sets me apart from other recruiters is my dedication to getting to know each traveler on a personal level. By taking the time to understand their unique preferences and goals, I can recommend the perfect contracts tailored to their needs.
If I could have a recruiting superpower, it would be the ability to predict the future. Imagine being able to foresee which travel contracts will open up before they're even available! It would give me a competitive edge and allow me to offer unparalleled opportunities to my travelers.
If you’re looking for a recruiter who will empower you to chase your career goals, I am your perfect fit. With a passion for personal development, I leverage my extensive experience to build powerful relationships built on support. I believe in arming my nurses with knowledge and guidance so they can approach their travel nursing career with confidence. But above all, I want my nurses to know that, when they’re far from home, that I'm with them. It might seem small, but being a reliable source my nurses can count on is important to me.
Hi - I'm Ashley! I am a retired Wedding Specialist and former consultant of the USGA who helped plan the 2013 & 2021 U.S. Senior Open here in Omaha, Nebraska! I decided to make a transition after I had my two girls to be able to spend more time with them. I LOVE this industry so far and can't wait to make life-long friendships and help therapists travel the WOLRD! I also like watching Michael Jordan re-run tapes, fishing, anything outdoors, listening to Taylor Swift and spending time with my family.
I am a recruiter with Pioneer Healthcare Services, based in San Diego! I love my job and getting to help therapists find their perfect position! A little about me, I love traveling, warm weather, going to the beach, and cuddling with my pup!
I have years of experience in customer service. As a recruiting specialist, I am excited to meet new travelers and help them find the best travel nurse assignments. I am the mother of an RN and want travel nurses to feel safe, heard, and confident in their choice to work with me and TNAA. Trust, transparency and loyalty are the foundation of my relationships.
I truly love spending time with family and friends especially when it involves food. So, when my family is together, you’ll most likely find us enjoying a good meal together.
