Our worldview isn’t something we are born with. It takes years of life experience, education, and above all listening to make us what we become. My journey, my passion and my life’s work has led me here: A champion of skills-first hiring committed to confronting equity gaps in the workplace. My volunteer and philanthropic work has allowed me to witness the impact that both an individual and a socially responsible organization have in supporting the journey toward economic stability for children, families, and communities. I’ve seen firsthand what comes when we uplift and support women in the workplace, and activate the full potential of our workforce. And above all, as CEO of YUPRO Placement, my team of diverse, broad-minded individuals has inspired me to be a stronger advocate for equality and inclusion. At YUPRO Placement, our calling is to support skills-first hiring by sourcing, recruiting, retaining, and advancing traditionally overlooked talent. As an industry-leading skills-first placement firm, we recognize that our workforce is at a critical juncture: that disrupting outdated hiring practices and building career pathways for talented individuals Skilled Through Alternative Routes (STARs) is essential to the future of corporate acquisition. We serve as the connector between forward-thinking employers, a national upskilling partner network, and career-ready talent.💬Send me a direct message if you’re ready to champion this mission or just to learn more.
