My entire professional career has been focused on leadership and helping others. After five years serving in the US Army I finished my bachelors in Nursing. I worked for several years in emergency and trauma surgery in a pediatric hospital. My next move was to a position in Human Resources at a fortune 400 company in Organizational Effectiveness. There I helped leaders be more effective, I helped the company plan and execute strategy and business planning. To ensure my nursing skills were not lost I joined the US Navy Reserves and continued my service in surgery helping battlefield wounded service members during the war. When I returned home the Navy was interested in my HR and Nursing skills but as a healthcare recruiter. I jumped at the opportunity to help build the ranks of Navy Medicine with qualified providers. I worked in Talent Acquisition Leadership for the next decade. I lead teams of recruiters to seek out and hire the best and brightest healthcare providers for our country. Now that my time on the Navy is over and I have retired I am looking forward to continuing to help others achieve their dreams. This is why I have joined the Patrice & Associates team. I have prided myself on mentoring young people to achieve their dreams. Aligning their skills and talents to the best fit career. The joy I see in their eyes when I have helped them succeed has driven me to my own success in recruiting. I know that this is what I am meant to do and I look forward to each day that I continue to help others.

Duke Witte absolutely was amazing!
I am writing to express my sincere gratitude to Duke Witte for his assistance in finding me a new job in the hospitality industry. I was disgruntled with my previous job, and I was feeling very discouraged about my prospects. I had been working in the restaurant industry for many years, and I had a lot of experience and skills, but I was having a hard time finding a better opportunity.
I was contacted via LinkedIn by Duke, and thank goodness I was. Mr. Witte was incredibly helpful and supportive throughout the entire process. He took the time to understand my skills and experience, and worked tirelessly to find me a job that was a good fit.
Duke was also very honest and upfront with me about the job market. He didn't sugarcoat things, but also didn't give up on me. He kept me motivated and encouraged, and never gave up on finding me a job that I would love.
I am so grateful to Duke Witte and his team for their help. I am now happily employed, and I am so happy that I was able to find a job that I love. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for a job in the restaurant industry. He is a true professional, and is dedicated to helping his clients find the perfect job!
Thank you again for everything!

Working with Chris Bovio made job searching so much easier!
Not only was he available and involved in my search, but also knowledgeable regarding the position. Chris used his industry experience and recruiting network to find the best position for me and my skill set. My only regret is that my new job is so perfect for me that I won’t need to use Chris or Patrice & Associates later.Thanks,

Bryan Curtis was fantastic to work with!
Bryan was very on top of things throughout my recruiting process to the engineering firm I accepted my position with. I responded to his LinkedIn posting and heard back from him within 24 hours. He continually spoke with me throughout the process checking in regularly and answering all my questions. Bryan was instrumental in helping me find a great job.
Thanks!
