Out of Office
You can find me outside the office spending time with my family, traveling, meeting up with friends, or working on initiatives with the non-for-profits I support.
I named my dog Punky because I idolized Punky Brewster as a child and it’s such a fun name with so many nicknames (Punkster, Punk-a-dunks, Punks…)
Three countries I’d love to visit are Belize, Croatia, and Spain.
My favorite vacation spot is Greece.
My favorite Cardea Group memory is going to the GAIM conference in Grand Cayman—we had many fun memories and met a number of outstanding people.
I’d describe my clients as reputable, upstanding, collaborative, trustworthy, and engaging. Many people I’ve worked with have become more than acquaintances—they’re friends and I appreciate their wit, their respect for our work, and how personable they are.
I admire my candidates most when they take chances on themselves to pursue roles that might be considered a “reach.” Many of our openings are newly-created positions and can sound intimidating. One of my favorite sayings is that a job description is about 60% accurate and 40% what you make of it. This is especially true of newly created opportunities, so I love it when candidates take that leap—it is oftentimes when their careers flourish most.
