One of the things I would like to do and accomplish in my lifetime would be to travel internationally. I’ve never left the US and I would just love to see how other countries are and experience their cultures. To learn more about them and just to really have more broad experiences.
What inspires me to do that is there’s just so much out there that I’ve never had a chance to see and experience. I think the only way to really get those experiences is to travel and to immerse yourself in that culture, so that’s something I hope to do in my lifetime.

Bucket List
I grew up in, I guess you could say, a mix of New York and Florida. So, I was born in New York and I spent the first seven years of my life there and then we moved to South Florida, Boynton Beach.
Shortly after college when I was about 21, I moved back to New York and lived there until I was about 26 when I finally moved out here to Denver.
I would say Boynton Beach is my hometown since I have most of my youngest memories there. I would describe my hometown as very hot and pretty small but not really small-town life.
Growing up we spent most of our time at the beach. Personally, I would say South Florida has the most beautiful beaches in America, but I guess I’m a little biased.
What influenced me the most growing up is probably music and my mom. Growing up I was really involved in the music scene and I think that music really helped form me into the person that I am today. That along with my mom.
I grew up in a single mother household, so my mom and I were always super close. She influenced me and forced me to be the best person that I could possibly be and wasn’t accepting of anything less.
I went to college at University of South Florida, USF, GO BULLS! Where I studied Political Science. I was involved in some clubs but focused more heavily on my academics.
I was involved in the vegetarian club and in some political organizations. I also worked at the dinning hall and was involved in bringing more dietary friendly options into our dinning halls for students with dietary restrictions.

My Roots
When I’m not working, I love to enjoy the beautiful nature that Colorado has to offer! I love to go on hikes, I love to go to the lake and go swimming, I love to go camping, I love to hang out with my dog, Luke, and take him to the off-leash dog park, etc.
I also love to go thrifting locally and try to find unique things. On getting into outdoorsy things, I guess I didn’t really have a choice. My husband is really into camping so he kind of just threw me into it and I just fell in love instantly after our first camping trip.
Growing up in South Florida, the only nature we really have is the beach, so being able to see the mountains has been amazing.

Outside Work
The impression that I would like to leave behind for anyone that I’m interacting is that I care and that I’m here for them. I think I really can translate that through to my candidates and give them the best experience possible by listening to what they’re saying and helping them find that next step that they’re looking for, whatever that might be.
Also, just being able to really make an impact and a difference in their life. Be that positive light, maybe in a hard time.

My Footprint
I work at the Denver office. I think we have a great balance of competition but also of taking care of our fellow recruiters and our fellow account managers and making sure that, you know, everyone is getting the help. Balancing that with competition to maintain that fun, thriving, competitive work environment that we have is quite unique.
Being able to compete with your coworkers but also support and uplift them. I think it’s a fine line and we do an amazing job at it and it’s something that I’m super proud of and feel so lucky to be a part of.

My Branch
The bravest thing I have ever done was to move across the country (twice) without knowing anyone in my new state. Once to NYC after college, and most recently to Denver in November of 2018.

Fun Fact
Before Inceed I was a manager for a rental car company. I think my goals and ambitions have always just been to have a career where I’m positively impacting the lives of others and really making a difference.
I’m also super money motivated so having an opportunity where I could impact the lives of others while also increasing my compensation has always been a goal of mine.
What made me start considering other options is that I just felt like I had more to offer. I’d always considered recruiting and I felt that I could really be a part of a recruiting team, impacting the lives of others.
I really thought recruiting aligned with my future goals of positively impacting lives and positively impacting my compensation. I had interviewed with some other recruiting firms in the past and it just never felt right. I was comfortable in my job, it’s not like I needed to find something immediately. I wanted to find something better, not just something else.
I knew Inceed was better when I looked at their website. I could just tell that their goals aligned with my goals that it was going to be a fun and competitive work environment.
