   I’ve recently pivoted into Business Development with Legacy Advisors, where I partner with Missouri employers to optimize employee benefits and reduce costs through strategic plan design and carrier negotiation.I cut my teeth in sales, recruitment, and relationship building within the insurance industry from 2006–2016 — an experience that shaped who I became as a talent acquisition professional. That foundation in outreach, consultative sales, and compliance-driven work taught me how to navigate complexity, build trust quickly, and deliver tailored solutions.Over the past decade, I’ve honed those same skills leading high-volume, high-impact recruitment programs in a highly regulated, technology-dependent environment. Now, I get to bring that experience full circle — leveraging my understanding of people, process, and data to grow in new ways and help organizations strengthen their benefits strategies.Both recruitment and business development share the same DNA:Building and maintaining trusted relationships through consistent, consultative engagementManaging outreach pipelines and cold-calling campaigns with purpose and persistenceNegotiating complex agreements to deliver win–win outcomesProviding white-glove service that prioritizes each client’s long-term successThis new chapter continues that same mission — helping organizations thrive by aligning people, benefits, and business goals.
