I make people's lives better by connecting them with awesome companies where their talents will be valued.For me, it's not about using a computerized algorithm to match keywords on a resume to job specs, but about making a personal connection with people. I listen to both candidates and hiring managers, ask meaningful questions, and learn what will be a good fit. Nordstrom Williams chooses client companies that are interested in hiring people not only for what they have done in their past work, but what they can do. The rewarding part of my job is creating those opportunities to match people to the workplace where they will thrive.Lucky for me, I also have a side hustle that involves food! I teach cooking classes, give online demos, and blog on culinary technique and recipes. My favorite cuisines are Thai and Spanish.I usually have classical or jazz music playing when I'm in the kitchen or the office. And when I'm not working, I enjoy dancing (I was a competition ballroom dancer), flying (I learned to fly in a Piper Cherokee Six), or boating on Lake Chautauqua in my 1954 Chris Craft Runabout.
