PROFILE:

In 2013, after over eight years of solid experience within the mortgage banking industry, I made a change in my career to focus on IT recruiting. This 180-degree change was born out of my passion for people and my desire to contribute to the betterment of their lives. As a fast learner and dedicated professional with a strong work ethic, I have quickly become proficient in full life cycle recruiting, including sourcing, interviewing, salary negotiation, and closing.

Prior to joining the talent acquisition world, I worked as a result-oriented credit professional with solid experience and demonstrated accomplishments in mortgage lending, and credit analysis. With nearly eight years of experience in the mortgage banking/financial industry, I built a solid track record of efficiency and productivity. My strong work ethic and exceptional customer service skills, coupled with my demonstrated organizational, interpersonal and communication skills had allowed me to Thrive in a very challenging environment.
