Program Manager & Recruiter

My process is very different.

If you are looking for someone who just writes a resume based off of a few job descriptions, that isn't me.  I will sit down with my clients for 3-6 hours and ask a lot of questions. I need to dig out their accomplishments to make them stand out. I write the resume in front of my clients so that they can see how it is done.

Giving is my fuel.

I felt like I was locked in a cage, producing excel reports for executives that looked at them for just a few seconds at most. I wasn’t impacting anyone. My future was bound to be filled with useless meetings as the core of my personality, my passion for helping people, wasted away.

Did you know that 95% of job postings are inaccurate and misleading? The job search and interview process is broken. Many good candidates pass over listings because they don’t feel they’re good enough and, instead, unfit candidates apply. There is also a stigma associated with people without college degrees, who’re most often left behind as a result. You wouldn't judge your mechanic by his/her ability to pass a math test, would you? 

For job seekers who are seeking employment or looking to transition, NoDegree provides customized career strategy assistance. 

For businesses who need assistance with their recruiting and interview process, NoDegree’s role allows you to gain a competitive advantage by having “the right” employee. While you focus on your company culture and bottom line, the candidate you need for your business is being filtered and found. 

Most recruiters just try to push candidates through so they can get their fee. NoDegree is different. Through the established relationship with the candidate, knowledge of their strengths and weaknesses, NoDegree only places them in environments that they will excel in.

NoDegree works with companies that see past the college degree. Companies like Google, VaynerMedia, IBM and others are on the forefront of this new trend. I am a fierce advocate for extraordinary individuals who have chosen to bypass the traditional college route and go straight into impacting the world. 

I remember all the people that were kind to me and my mission is to make a difference in companies and in lives. Empathy makes the world a better place and I’m proud to be a contributor. My dream of giving for a living has come true in so many ways. 

Let’s connect. I have not hit the 30K connection limit. Send me a message if you feel we can work together. I will provide the highest level of service because that's what you deserve.

Most retailers confront a hairball of different systems for ecommerce, inventory management, order management and third-party software systems. 

This siloed approach results in lost sales, inventory stock outs and ultimately poor customer experiences. 

By using the Patchworks Ecommerce Integration SuiteApp, Gymshark, This Works and Cox & Cox can easily connect existing ecommerce or other specialized business systems with NetSuite to help ensure consistency of data flows, business processes and customer experiences.

Gymshark’s online fitness apparel company has been booming since launching five years ago, recently earning the top spot in the Times Fast Track 100, and is now expanding into new territories. 

The company has selected NetSuite and is leveraging the Patchworks Ecommerce Integration SuiteApp to gain greater visibility into its online customer data, which will allow it to provide more personalized offerings and services to shoppers across multiple channels and markets.
