With over 25 years of experience in the recruiting world, I’ve built my career, and my reputation, driven by my "Protagonist - ENFJ-T" personality type, always striving to make a positive impact in everything I do. In early 2019, I launched Kismet Search, a boutique Technology and Executive recruitment firm. "Kismet" is derived from the Turkish word "qismet," which refers to the belief in fate, destiny, and serendipity. As such, I strive to create fulfilling career journeys by blending fortuitous timing, unforeseen opportunities, and inspired connections… sparking the thought: "How did we not meet sooner??" In addition to recruitment, I’m also an expert in resume writing and career coaching, helping candidates craft standout personal brands and navigate their job searches with confidence. My deep insider knowledge of hiring processes, paired with a creative storytelling approach, enables me to help clients secure positions that align with their skills, values, and career aspirations.Before founding Kismet Search, I spent 20 years at TriStaff Group, learning the art of recruitment from my mentor and partner, Amy Moser — who also happened to be my mom and a true legend in the field. Along the way, I’ve enjoyed a streak as San Diego’s “Headhuntress of the Year” for 25 years running. (A title easier to secure when you’re also the sole voter and creator of the category.)On the personal side, I’m a native San Diegan, raised in Solana Beach, and proudly embrace my inner nerd, graduating as valedictorian and salutatorian from La Jolla Country Day School. While my cheerleading skills earned me a nomination as an NCA All-American, I was consistently humbled playing most other sports.I attended USC on Dean’s and Golden State Scholarships, earning a BA in Creative Writing and Poetry—a foundation for my approach to resume writing and career coaching.Today, I call Encinitas, CA, home, where I where I balance work, family life, and the managed mayhem of raising a spirited squad of humans, dogs, and chickens, with an endless supply of sand in our shoes (and mudroom).Let’s connect! I’m always excited to catch up, dive into the latest trends in talent and tech, and explore how to unlock the bright opportunities that lie ahead.
