Over the years, my career has taken me through a variety of industries—including financial services, payment processing, warranty solutions, healthcare (pharmacy benefits), and marketing & branding strategy. I’ve held roles that energized and inspired me, and others that just weren’t the right fit. I’ve worked under phenomenal leaders who helped shape my growth—and a few micromanagers who taught me exactly how not to lead. Every experience has shaped my perspective and strengthened my ability to connect with people on both sides of the hiring table.
I’ve stepped into business ownership with Patrice & Associates—one of the nation’s most respected recruiting firms. This move isn’t just about owning a business; it’s about building something meaningful that helps people find roles where they can thrive, and helps companies find the high-caliber, A+ talent they need to succeed.
My diverse background gives me a unique edge as a recruiter. I understand what it’s like to search for that “right fit” job—and what it takes to identify candidates who can elevate a team and drive business forward.
I bring empathy, strategy, and hustle to every search.
We support recruiting across all industries and levels, from hospitality and restaurant roles to nationwide executive placements. Even better—my daughter Gracie is joining me part-time, making this a true family endeavor!
