About Me

First of all, I'm a mom of an 8 year old dynamo daughter and also have a 14 year Labrador Retriever named Gonzo (yep, think Muppets)! I enjoy spending time at home with my husband and daughter which is definitely a bonus.

Professionally, I've worked in the Human Resources function for over 15 years; primarily in the Recruitment function. Over the last 10 years, I've worked for Citi in the Staffing function, working in various roles from managing a team of recruiters to supporting the North America Staffing group via training support and staffing applications compliance support.
