Hi, 
Thank you for visiting my profile. 
My friends call me Meri, so please feel free to do the same. 

📚📚📚 Here is my story📚📚📚📚

📌I was born and raised in Bosnia and Herzegovina. 
When I turned 20, I  landed a job in The Green Zone in Baghdad, Iraq. 

📌I spent 4 years there working to put myself into school and move to the USA. 
The contract called for 84 hours/week. It was a blast - literally! 

📌While in Baghdad, I worked at the New Embassy Compound (NEC), the largest US Embassy in the world.

📌I moved to the States in 2011 and first lived in Honolulu. I moved to Norfolk, VA, in 2019 and shortly after I resided in the beautiful MD - DMV area. I am currently located in Orlando, FL. 

📌I was brave enough to start my own business in the summer of 2022, and I honestly can say I live the "American Dream." 

➡️A kid who survived the Bosnian war and did not have toothpaste in the '90s (but somehow maintained to smile) is 
🙏ready to serve you NOW.

I specialize in helping small & mid-size medical practices/groups recruit 
clinical and support staff.

I often serve as an advisor on 
recruiting, hiring, and onboarding
