Career Highlight

"My career focus has always revolved around Gen Z students. From recruiting students to attend a 4-year university to recruiting students to join a fortune 200 company, I have seen the importance of creating an environment that welcomes and empowers Generation Z students. While pursuing my masters, I dedicated my capstone research project to how to best recruit students at this age. With the knowledge I gained, along with my teams lived experience, we have created targeted events in the recruitment space along with innovative events for our intern program. One of my proudest accomplishments was spearheading our companies first LinkedIn live event that garnered over 4,000+ reaches in 30 minutes alone. The events myself and team plan directly correlate with Gen Zs passion for DEI, Corporate Responsibility, and Social Media Networking. My hope is that these events will create the next generation of legends to successfully enter into the workspace with full confidence in their abilities."
