I thrive on the "𝐟𝐢𝐠𝐮𝐫𝐞-𝐢𝐭-𝐨𝐮𝐭-𝐧𝐨-𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫-𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭" mentality, firmly believing that I will conquer any challenge that comes my way. People often describe me as 𝐦𝐚𝐠𝐧𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐜, 𝐩𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐞, and I was even dubbed "The Bad Girl of LinkedIn." My social butterfly nature complements my 𝐮𝐧𝐰𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐟𝐨𝐜𝐮𝐬 on achieving results, as I effortlessly 𝐧𝐞𝐭𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐬𝐨𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐳𝐞 to create opportunities anywhere I go.

My professional journey has been diverse, spanning hospitality, operations, construction, sales, and now recruiting. My background has equipped me with a 𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐪𝐮𝐞 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐚 𝐰𝐞𝐥𝐥-𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐝 𝐬𝐤𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐬𝐞𝐭 - I believe I can work in any industry, because 𝐦𝐲 𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐲 𝐢𝐬 𝐩𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐞. I have successfully managed teams of 100+ individuals, closed deals worth up to $1.2 million, and even had the privilege of serving as Mr. Marriott's personal server.

While my professional life is thriving, my 𝐦𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐡𝐞𝐝 𝐫𝐨𝐥𝐞 is being a mom to my energetic 6-year-old, Axel. Balancing the demands of work and family brings joy and fulfillment. In my downtime, I love to hit the range 🏌️‍♀️, snuggle my two dogs, and even make it to the beach for sunrise occasionally.

My guiding motto is simple yet powerful: "𝑰𝒇 𝑰 𝑪𝒂𝒏'𝒕, 𝑴𝒚 𝑵𝒆𝒕𝒘𝒐𝒓𝒌 𝑪𝒂𝒏." I believe in teamwork and collaboration. By working together and using the strengths of our network, we can accomplish remarkable things. Building 𝐦𝐞𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐟𝐮𝐥 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 is important to me, and I'm dedicated to making a 𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐭 on the lives of those I work with.
