As the daughter of an entrepreneur mother and master salesman father, I suppose I was determined to make my mark on the world from an early age. My first job was in kindergarten, when I co-founded a family business with my mom and my sister. Each Saturday morning, we would rise and shine to sell cookies, muffins and brownies at our local Farmer's Market. We made money and, more importantly, we learned life lessons. My parents always said, "Half the money goes straight to the college fund and the other half is fun money."​ I had no shame in stopping every shopper. Who could resist a kindergartner schlepping cookies? One cookie at a time, I developed valuable marketing, sales, and customer service skills, which eventually put me on the path to my recruiting career. I found my love for recruiting when I worked at Linfield College, where I visited high schools and college fairs in the western states to recruit the brightest and the best to come to McMinnville and become a Wildcat. I realized I had a knack for seeing "the match"​ between the right student and the right college. It's the same match I look for today with our clients and candidates. My goal is to always find the true long term fit and the “happy place” for both parties. I've been in the recruiting industry since 2004 and I still get excited each day. In 2015, I joined the LHH family, and I am on our legal recruiting team. When the opportunity came my way, I relied on a personal mantra, "The congo line only goes around once, so you better jump in!"​ And so I did, with two feet. Each day my work is rewarding and challenging, and I am passionate about it. Just like the perfect cookie recipe, there's a creative art to recruiting and, I'm grateful to hone the craft daily with every connection I make.
