With nearly 30 years in HR and Talent Acquisition leadership, I’ve spent my career building recruiting strategies and high-performing teams at top companies like MillerCoors and GE Healthcare. A HR degree from UW-Whitewater fueled my passion for helping others, leading me into a career of recruiting, serving on the Board of Directors for Make-A-Wish Wisconsin, and supporting multiple charities through the Fusion Recruiters “Fusion Cares” program. Building lasting relationships at all levels and giving back to our communities truly fills my cup!
Outside of work, I enjoy coaching youth baseball, making core memories on family vacations, quoting 80’s and 90’s movies and music, and a good Wisconsin fish fry.
I believe an organization's success is directly linked to its workforce. For over 2 decades, I have helped organizations attract, hire, and retain top talent, enabling both individuals and businesses to reach their peak potential. Since earning my BBA in Human Resource Management and Economics from UW-Milwaukee, I have supported various industries, including Medical Devices, Print Manufacturing, Pharmaceuticals, Clinical Research, and Telecommunications. My expertise spans talent acquisition, relocation assistance, project management, and compliance. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my husband and two daughters, cooking, traveling, boating, and creating memories with family and friends.
With 20+ years in healthcare, specializing in cardiac rehabilitation and exercise physiology, I prioritized quality care and personal connections. I'm passionate about understanding people— their stories and families— enhancing their lives with a smile.
At Fusion, I've used that experience in my role as CFO to focus on genuine relationships with clients, candidates, and our team, which has a family feel. Outside of work, I'm a devoted mom, chauffeuring my kids and enjoying travel, family road trips, and strong coffee. Ultimately, my greatest joy is sharing moments with my husband, two boys, and our ever-present golden doodle, Lambeau.

The saying that sometimes a career chooses you certainly rings true for me. Early on in my career, as an administrative associate for a boutique staffing firm in Milwaukee, I was fortunate to be approached by leadership for a recruiting role which launched my journey into the talent acquisition space. Now, with over 20 successful and rewarding years behind me, I look back and realize that my true professional calling is to help guide others in achieving their career goals. As my passion and commitment have grown, the relationships I’ve developed have been instrumental in shaping me into an effective and successful leader in talent acquisition.
Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of working with many extraordinary leaders and team members. I've gained a wealth of recruiting experience across diverse industries, including Healthcare, Pharmaceuticals, Life Sciences, Financial Services, and Manufacturing, with a particular focus on executive recruitment. I firmly believe that this breadth of experience, combined with a commitment to positivity and hard work, lays the groundwork for success.
In my free time, I enjoy being outdoors and spending time with my husband at our home in sunny Florida. I'm also a huge animal lover and am instantly compelled to pet every furry friend that crosses my path!
With more than 20 years of experience in talent acquisition and recruitment, I find fulfillment in fostering successful, impactful, and enduring collaborations across all areas. My strengths lie in building strong customer service partnerships, streamlining processes, providing strategic leadership, cultivating innovative teams, and boosting performance. These capabilities help create lasting client relationships while consistently delivering exceptional results with our outstanding team. At home, my husband, two sons, and I are passionate Wisconsin sports fans, when we're not cheering on our oldest on the football field or our youngest on the baseball diamond. Personally, I enjoy staying up far too late with my nose buried in the latest book I'm reading.
With 18 years of experience in Talent Acquisition, I have been privileged to collaborate with highly skilled professionals in both Agency and Corporate settings. I firmly believe that cultivating strong relationships with professionals fosters a robust work environment for organizations and their employees.
My educational background is in Elementary Education from UW Oshkosh. When I decided to switch careers, I sought a role that still involved connecting with people, offering guidance, and coaching. With support from close colleagues and friends, I discovered the field of recruitment. Throughout my career, I have had the pleasure of working with exceptional talent in industries such as Manufacturing, Agricultural and Automotive Machinery, Mechanical & Industrial Engineering, Financial Services, and Healthcare. This diverse experience, coupled with the incredible professionals I have partnered with, has shaped me into the industry expert I am today.
Family and friends are very important to me, as anyone close to me would attest. I have three stepdaughters who have grown into strong, beautiful, and talented young women. I'm a sports enthusiast who continues to play volleyball (despite my knees' protests) and enjoys outdoor activities, a good movie, and working out. Go Pack Go!
