I spent the first 14 years of my career working in college athletics, the last 12 at the University of Kentucky. From 2010-18 I directed the CATS Life Skills program for UK where my main job was connecting with area businesses and helping student-athletes (both current and alums) transition from college to the world of work. In addition, I managed a majority of the department's community service programming and helped deliver educational programming to all 22 varsity sports teams. After UK, I spent 2 years as a construction recruiter at Aerotek and helped the Lexington Aerotek office's E&E division set a record for recruiting sales in 2019. After leaving the company briefly to work in IT sales, I re-joined Aerotek (now Actalent) in October 2020 as an engineering recruiter and was promoted to Recruiting Practice Lead in April 2022.
Listed skills include Student Affairs, Career Development, Community Outreach, Public Speaking, and 20 others.
