Before I helped people get hired, I helped them get famous.

I cast 250+ episodes of reality TV for:

Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, HBO Max.

Now I help overlooked tech talent get hired.
And help hiring leaders build teams they’d fight to keep.

I run a staffing firm that focuses on ERP and enterprise IT.

But my content?

It’s about giving you the playbook no one’s handed you:

✅ Job Search Strategy
↳To get hired faster, without burning out

✅ Career Frameworks
↳To find roles that fit you, not just pay you

✅ Hiring Insights
↳To build teams that scale with purpose

✅ Dad-Level Real Talk
↳ To explain ‘the cloud’ isn’t where planes live

If you’ve ever felt stuck, ghosted or burnt out,
or if you’re just ready for better…

Local World Inc.

Since May 2022, I’ve been a Technical Recruiter at LocalWorld, using AI-powered tools and platforms like LinkedIn Recruiter to find top-tier tech talent with speed and precision. I conduct initial screenings to evaluate technical skills and ensure candidates mesh smoothly with the client's team. Salesforce and Slack are used to stay organized, keep communication flowing, and manage the full recruitment cycle, including scheduling, reference checks, and feedback. After placements, I stay in touch to ensure satisfaction and support contract renewals.

One candidate shared: “Her insightful guidance and tailored advice helped me confidently articulate my strengths and align my experience with what the clients were seeking.”

I’m skilled in problem-solving, AI-driven sourcing, technical recruiting, and employer branding. I’ve mentored candidates, reviewed resumes, and built strong relationships through clear, consistent communication. I'm adaptable, efficient with ATS platforms, and always focused on helping teams grow with the right people.

Consultant - Salesforce Administrator

Transforming the Tech Recruitment Landscape - Bringing Together SAP & Salesforce Experts with Businesses for Painless ERP & CRM Implementations while Focused on the Human Connection

I started out in a support role when a four-day Salesforce admin training came my way. By the end of it, I was completely hooked. It wasn’t just another system—it was a whole new way to streamline work and solve problems.

So, I went all in. I started a study group, and we dove deep into the material. Before long, I had the certs to back up my skills, and suddenly, I was on the front lines—getting teams on board and making sure Salesforce wasn’t just another tool people ignored.

Along the way, I picked up some serious insight into how businesses really operate—and a whole new appreciation for the unique challenges in tech. What started as a simple training turned into a career focused on making technology work for people, not the other way around.

Over those 13 years I worked with many tech recruiters, and the ones that I clicked with were the ones that ‘got it’. When you are in the market and in the weeds – you really need an efficient recruiter in your corner to do the heavy lifting while you work. For me, transitioning from an admin role to a recruiter seemed like a natural progression, as I could continue to make a positive impact on both businesses and individuals. 

My primary goal is to help you find a job that aligns perfectly with your qualifications, offers appropriate compensation, and accentuates your value to prospective employers.

When I’m not working you will find me traveling many miles to obsess over the natural world (the balance) watching a guilty pleasure on the flix or reading a novel that you can’t put down. 

I’m so happy we connected. Tell me how I can help you find your new position today.
