Purple Cow Recruiting

At Purple Cow Recruiting, we come from the in-house world of recruiting and HR. We've established an innovative recruiting team that blends the internal expertise and collaboration of hiring an in-house recruiter with the swiftness and flexibility characteristic of an external headhunter from a precision search firm. 

This approach leverages the fact that we are deeply entrenched in our clients’ culture but we are highly trained recruiting snipers that can quickly go in and find the right person beyond the company’s current network.   

Additionally, we act as specialized consultants in fields extending beyond the conventional scope of staffing agencies. Our team stands ready as your primary Talent Acquisition & Search partner, dedicated to guiding your company towards its objectives and targets. Being entirely women-owned and operated, and operating fully remotely, we prioritize eco-sustainability, thereby reducing our environmental impact.

Vice President, Strategic Partnerships

Mission Box Solutions

As a senior member of the leadership team at Mission Box Solutions, my priority is the client and candidate experience in our healthcare vertical. We partner with acute care health systems, private medical practices, and government entities to provide the best available talent for their urgent patient care needs. MBS is a SDVOSB and it is our foremost mission to partner with active and former military service-members and their families to provide meaningful employment opportunities and to enhance the veteran employer brand of our clients. As a diverse talent vendor, we are able to move on client priorities with the agility and speed of a small business with the white glove service and business acumen of a large firm.

I lead a high-performing, revenue-producing team of talent acquisition professionals that are obsessed with culture and the experience provided to their candidates. I manage MBS' top client account and have led my team to exceed quarterly revenue benchmarks two-fold.

Apart from managing the healthcare team, I am the in-house HRIS manager and develop new business relationships across the company.

"If you're too proud to serve, you're too small to lead."

As a talent acquisition executive deeply rooted in People Operations, I bring over nine years of progressive service and leadership to the table. Specializing in healthcare recruiting and talent pipelining, particularly for mid-level providers and physicians, I've led high-performing teams deeply entrenched in our organizational culture. With a personal touch, I've nurtured relationships, resulting in over 600 career fills and a remarkable average time-to-fill rate of 21 days. My expertise extends to compliance and compensation analysis, where I advocate fervently for pay equity. Thriving in challenging, matrixed environments, I excel in providing white-glove service delivery through consultation with leaders and staff alike.

Currently, I proudly serve as an executive and VP of Strategic Partnerships at Purple Cow Recruiting, a woman-owned and operated recruiting services firm. Here, we've pioneered an innovative recruiting approach that seamlessly blends internal expertise with the agility of external headhunters from precision search firms.
