I’ve built my recruiting career around industries I genuinely enjoy, manufacturing and engineering, connecting companies with high-impact talent across Manufacturing, Engineering, Skilled Trades, Field Service, and Industrial Operations. Over the years, I’ve developed a real appreciation for the people behind these industries and the role they play in keeping businesses growing and operations moving. I’m drawn to the challenge of finding hard-to-find talent, from highly specialized engineers and technical professionals to skilled trades and operational leadership.
My experience across full-cycle recruiting, business development, and in-house talent acquisition has given me a unique understanding of the hiring process from both sides of the table. I’ve recruited nationally across manufacturing and industrial environments, partnering with hiring leaders across multiple facilities to understand what they truly need and find the right fit. I take a hands-on, relationship-driven approach and believe the best placements come from knowing the market, asking the right questions, and building genuine relationships with both clients and candidates.
