About

I began working in technical sourcing and staffing before moving into enterprise IT, where I spent more than a decade supporting the technologies, teams, vendors, and operational environments recruiters hire for. I am now returning to technical sourcing and recruiting at the junior/re-entry level, bringing that practical domain experience with me.
