One year in May.

I joined New Charter because the business itself intrigued me. I had never heard of this type of company structure, and I was attracted to the idea of being able to recruit for multiple companies, not just one. During the interview process, I learned a lot from Ashley Wright, Sarah Bernhardt and Mitch Morgan. I was in total awe of their candor and professionalism – I just knew I had to work for them.

My favorite part of my job is working some with the more specialized roles, specifically in cybersecurity. I got into recruiting with the goal in mind to seek out more security roles, so I love that I get to do that as part of my responsibilities.

I am so grateful to be a part of the ‘security specialist’ initiative that New Charter has brought to all of our partner companies. It was so much fun helping all the companies identify internal talent for the role, as well as recruit externally for some of the others.

Job placement. There is no better feeling than being able to call the candidate you found and shepherded through the interview process, and then make them the offer for the role. It is a lot of fun watching them grow in the company, and checking in with them and hearing how happy they are in the job. It is even better when we meet them in person at our annual Kick-Off event.

Trust, Unity and Collaborative.

I’m a mom to a very active 4-year-old girl who keeps me very busy. We love to hike and enjoy the outdoors. We’re also a big Disney family, so we try to make it over to Disneyland a few times a year. I am also a big foodie and wine enthusiast, so I love trying new restaurant and wineries.

Pre-Covid, I was a flight attendant and have traveled to many countries, which is where I discovered my love of different cultures and food. Travel will always be a big part of my heart and I hope I can experience it with my little family.
