"I had some really great mentors throughout college. I think that was the most pivotal part of my experience."

"My role is to just make it as seamless as possible, as as empathetic as it can be, um, and just as smooth as it can be 'cause it's already tough."

"you certainly have to learn to master and lead yourself"

"The most important skills would be attention to detail, being resourceful, and having really strong communication skills."

"you can actually learn a lot in a short amount of time"

"My biggest challenge is navigating the balance between doing right by candidates and doing right by clients and the business."

"My industry allows me to blend creativity and technology, which...lets me honor both sides of my brain almost."

"Recruiting is such an uncharted territory, like you don't major in it."

"you're gonna be straddling the line between doing right by your candidates and doing right by your business"

"it's a little bit more businessy than I would say, being internal."

"Emotional intelligence and developing that is key. Communication skills are absolutely critical."

"college doesn't necessarily prepare you for [life challenges], it just kind of drops you off a cliff."

"I had to be hungry. I had to be the squeaky wheel and be willing to ask for things because no one was going to hand it to me."
