Career Highlight

"I am deeply proud to lead WillowTree's Talent Programs team, which has achieved significant growth in both size and scope while maintaining exceptional quality. Our intern program, with an NPS score of 95%, is a testament to the team's hard work and dedication. In the last year, we've expanded our talent programs into Canada, developed a learning and development program for new grads, recruited for three teams that had never previously hosted an intern, built a program for transitioning military service members, and executed the WillowTree for Good early ID event focused on social impact. This is a best-in-class team, and I feel incredibly lucky to work with them."
