With an established background in talent acquisition and sourcing, my expertise lies in connecting top-notch candidates with fulfilling roles that advocate work/life balance. At ITG Brands, I leverage my skills in recruiting and team motivation to identify and attract the best talent. The owner of Triangle Professional Search for over 17 years, I\'ve remained dedicated to fostering strong client relationships and ensuring the ideal match between companies and professionals.My recent role at Walgreens as a Sourcing Specialist allowed me to refine my approach in various corporate sectors, including supply chain, healthcare, marketing, and operational leadership. By spearheading online career fairs and becoming a subject matter expert for sourcing efforts, I\'ve been instrumental in enhancing recruitment strategies and enriching the candidate pipeline. My commitment is to excellence, both in the quality of my work and the opportunities I secure for candidates.
