Senior Recruiter

A Kokomo native and proud alumna of KHS, my journey into the world of recruiting commenced shortly after college when I responded to an ad seeking an Employment Counselor. Now, with over 25 years of experience, the landscape may have evolved with changing titles and technology, but the core principles of recruiting remain steadfast in my approach. I am unwavering in my commitment to delivering the optimal candidate and client experience, a mantra that has proven successful throughout the placement of thousands of employees. I never underestimate the profound impact I have had on enriching the lives of those I’ve encountered.

My career has been defined by adaptability, allowing me to seamlessly pivot in response to shifting priorities while maintaining a positive attitude, a strong work ethic, and a generous dose of humor. I excel in contributing to long-term visions and restoring order to chaotic situations. The passion for full life cycle recruiting still burns brightly within me, as I find fulfillment in addressing staffing shortages and fostering trusting client relationships.

Beyond my professional pursuits, I relish tackling home repairs alongside my husband of three decades. Quality time with my three remarkable adult children and the lively antics of our exuberant one-year-old Great Pyrenees puppy, Poppy, bring joy to my personal life. In a quirky twist, I proudly claim ownership of possibly the oldest Goldfish in Kokomo, affectionately named Big Bob, who entered our family through a local street festival in the early 2000s. Additionally, my knack for creating legendary Halloween costumes, such as a memorable portrayal of Post Malone, adds a touch of flair to my diverse interests.

Originally from Southern Indiana, I began my journey in recruiting back in 1999 during a stretch assignment as a hiring coordinator in “big box” retail management. The experience ignited my passion for connecting individuals with opportunities, prompting me to pursue further education at Indiana University in Human Resources management. Armed with a degree, I embarked on a fulfilling career spanning various HR and recruiting roles over the next fifteen years. Eventually, I chose to specialize in recruiting, drawn to the fulfillment of bringing people together rather than parting ways.

My recruiting ethos is straightforward: “Find great people, great jobs.” Every day, I adhere to this mantra, recognizing the hardworking individuals I serve who seek to provide for their families and themselves. For me, there’s no greater satisfaction than facilitating their journey to a fulfilling career. While it’s tempting to view people as mere statistics, I adamantly refuse to do so, and I’m delighted to find kindred spirits at TMG who share my commitment to people and customer satisfaction.

Beyond my professional endeavors, I take pride in being a devoted “girl dad” to three wonderful daughters, including twins, and sharing a life with my best friend and wife of over 15 years. Drumming has been a constant passion for almost three decades, with multiple albums and global recognition fueling my love for music as a sanctuary to rejuvenate amidst the demands of my career. As a proud Hoosier, I relish a classic Pork Tenderloin Sandwich with mustard (never mayo), and my sports allegiances span from the Hoosiers to the Notre Dame Fighting Irish, the Indiana Pacers, and my cherished NFL team, the Atlanta Falcons.

Joining the TMG team fills me with immense joy as we continue to expand our business and surpass expectations throughout the Midwest. I’m dedicated to providing unparalleled service, infusing every interaction with passion and energy, whether in my role as a recruiter or any other capacity necessary to serve our clients and candidates alike.
