I’d consider myself to be a blend of Patti Stanger from Million Dollar Matchmaker and Monica Geller from Friends.

Meaning, I bring a no-nonsense approach to matchmaking, ensuring every connection is on-point, and truly care about the outcomes of everything I have a hand in.

With almost a decade of experience navigating interviewing, hiring, training, and onboarding, my journey has been a wild ride in the world of people and every personality imaginable.

In a world drowning in transactions, I stand firm in the belief that every introduction is an opportunity for both parties to thrive. I genuinely love crafting meaningful connections and being the catalyst that helps business owners discover their dream hires without the stress.

EVERY MOVE I MAKE IS INFUSED WITH PURPOSE, AND I WILL FOREVER AND ALWAYS LIVE BY ONE RULE: NEVER DISCOUNT YOUR CONNECTIONS.

CASE STUDY:

Meet Woof & Wonder

Our collaboration with Woof & Wonder unfolded organically through an online community connection that led to us having a virtual coffee chat.

The founder was increasingly focused on expanding her social media content and experimenting with new marketing strategies. With that, she knew her time was better spent there and on the back end than scouring for suitable dog models.

As a liaison, I searched for her ideal brand models and presented curated options for approval before initiating contact, confirming alignment with the brand's vision. We also collaborated on setting compensation packages for the candidates before I started my search, ensuring we didn’t reach the end of the process only to discover that it might not work out.

This process was unique because she wasn't only seeking one candidate, but multiple options that fit the brand criteria. Variety was very important, and finding the perfect furry, four-legged models with the desired look took 4-5 weeks.

After receiving her Verified VIPs offboarding deck, she said: "It's been a long time since I've been wowed by someone's presentation. [It was] exactly what I was looking for. And when I opened the document...this was like above and beyond. The information you gave me is also so like invaluable to me. I'm just so appreciative and love it."

THIS PROCESS SAVED HER 2 HOURS OF SEARCHING FOR DOG MODELS ON SOCIAL MEDIA, 2 HOURS OF SCREENING TIME, AND 2.5 HOURS OF COMMUNICATION.

Kind Words

Business isn’t just about sales,
it’s about the people.

I view networking as everything—because it is. In the end, it’s the people, their stories, and the relationships we build that truly transform our lives for the better. I believe in the power of team dynamics where everyone is (mostly) happy, meaningful conversations exist, and friendships happen without hidden agendas.

AFTER ALL, I THINK WE CAN ALL AGREE THE BEST
RELATIONSHIPS ARE THE KIND WHERE EVERYONE WINS.
