At KBW Financial Staffing & Recruiting, I manage full-cycle direct-placement searches across accounting, finance, operations, manufacturing, and professional services, from intake through placement. I partner with hiring managers to define requirements, compensation, urgency, and candidate profiles, then build targeted pipelines and guide interview and offer processes.

Previously at Summit Careers, I managed recruiting from sourcing through post-placement follow-up and generated more than $100K in company revenue within my first four months by bringing in over $500K in salaried positions. At Insight Global, I supported DOD/federal, medical, technology, and business-services searches while building client relationships through cold calling, LinkedIn outreach, and referrals.

I also bring sales and operational leadership from managing a healthcare clinic at Gameday Men's Health and managing million-dollar pharmaceutical accounts at Empower Pharmacy. I use market insight, clear communication, and persistent outreach to connect employers with candidates whose experience and goals align.
