I grew up in Bar Harbor and Borneo before pursuing my academic and athletic careers at Florida State University. I received my B.S. in Psychology with a minor in Family and Child Sciences in 2019, and was the NCAA Women's Swimming and Diving team captain. I decided to venture to the West Coast soon after to start my career in Recruitment, where I have been working at Meet with a focus in Biometrics and Clinical Operations ever since.

I am a Division Manager - Head of Biometrics and Clinical Operations for Meet's San Francisco Bay Area division. I have a team of recruiters who exclusively work with local candidates to support our clients' Biometrics/Clinical Operations hiring needs. I work closely with clients to support their hiring needs and have found my niche in partnering with growing Biotech/Pharma companies from an embryonic stage to build their teams from the ground up.

I have learned so much about the Life Sciences industry over the past three years, and I'm grateful for the candidates and clients I've had the pleasure of building relationships with. Meeting and working with Life Sciences professionals who are passionate in making an impact is inspiring.

I work in a consultative manner to understand the motivations and long-term goals of my candidates and clients. Whether a candidate has just passively come to market or is active in their job search, I work efficiency and transparency to find their next exciting opportunity. Similarly, I partner with clients to support their hiring needs by understanding the company's phenotype and fostering open communication. My goal is to build long-term relationships and work in a way that is conducive to my clients' needs.
