Senior Recruiter - Direct Hire

With a career in recruiting dating back to 2019, I have specialized in the insurance industry since 2022, partnering with professionals and reputable organizations to connect talent with the right opportunities. My experience spans multiple areas of the insurance market, including Wholesale (E&S), Retail, Carrier, Programs, and Life & Health.

I take pride in building strong relationships, understanding the unique needs of each client and candidate, and creating meaningful connections that contribute to long-term success. I bring a relationship-driven approach to recruiting, with a focus on communication, industry knowledge, and delivering a positive experience throughout the hiring process.

I’m excited to begin this next chapter with Questpro and look forward to continuing to build relationships and make an impact across the insurance industry.
