I am a five foot wonder with the drive and passion listed out of this world. After graduating from the University of California, Irvine, I began my career in outside sales and eventually made the move into the recruiting world. My natural tendencies to understand human experiences/development, build strong relationships, and my love for helping others brought me to immediately fall head over heels with recruiting. I have been known to build strong relationships with all points of reference and to find top talent professionals with impressive track records.
