About

After finishing college I knew I wanted a career that will allow me to interact with different people every day. In my very first internship, I learned about recruiting and fell in love with it instantly. To clarify, I didn't fall in love with the fact that I had to go through hundreds and hundreds of resumes everyday trying to find that perfect candidate. What I did find most rewarding and interesting are the relationships I built with the clients and with the candidates I was servicing. It was exhilarating and challenging! It felt like I was making a difference. I couldn't have asked for a better career to pursue!Now with over 10 years of experience in full life-cycle corporate recruiting under my belt, I continue to be excited to come into work. Recruiting has allowed me to leverage my passion for building and nurturing relationships while remaining challenged to find that perfect candidate in today's competitive talent market. I thrive on working with my leaders to support them in shaping and building their teams with the most talented, diverse, dedicated and exceptional players in the market.ZS has allowed me to blend my passion for hiring the best people for an excellent and empowering organization. I believe in aligning ones values, desires and skills to an organization. This is what brings joy and passion into the workplace: I've now found it and want it for anyone interested in working for ZS.I work with a superior passion for making the hiring process fun, focused and rewarding for hiring managers and candidates. No matter what the level of search, every candidate and hiring manager deserves and gets excellent service.
