Her mission is to guide hiring leaders to transform the way they recruit the best talent to their organization. Her grand vision is to change the HR industry as a whole with every client she works with.

She took all of this experience and started her own firm in 2015 to further cultivate her passion for acquiring and engaging top talent, and more importantly, be of greater service to hiring leaders across a variety of industries.
As the Creator of the Attract, Convert, and Expand Mastermind, she helps hiring leaders eliminate ineffective hiring practices and embrace innovative and results-based recruitment.
