Proud to be sourcing top contract talent for oil & gas clients in Houston for Aquent! Got here by way of NYC, working with Ann Taylor and other brands designing tailored apparel. After making my way home to Texas, I worked in marketing and graphic design project management with a dash of client development. Next, I took on a four-year project with a recruiting firm in user interface/user experience and data management, deploying salesforce.com. My love for great design and marketing, together with the executive recruiting background drives my passion for finding the perfect fit for the creatives and Fortune 500 companies I serve.
