I watched Pulp Fiction one too many times and decided to take a page out of Samuel L. Jackson's book and roam the earth looking for adventures. I found them. I also achieved certifications for CompTIA A+, Security+, Network+, and AWS Cloud Practitioner to further strengthen technical acumen and support a broader understanding of IT technologies.

I led sales efforts for Network Infrastructure services, managing key accounts and cultivating strong relationships with clients to understand their technical staffing needs. I was responsible for driving revenue growth by identifying opportunities, negotiating contracts, and delivering high-quality talent solutions. As a leader of a small team of recruiters, I coached and mentored two direct reports, ensuring they met their recruitment goals while adhering to best practices in talent acquisition. My focus was on not only filling critical network infrastructure positions but also on building long-term partnerships with clients by providing consultative support and ensuring exceptional candidate fit.
