1. Tell us about your journey since graduation.
I went into Hospitality Management with an emphasis in event
planning. Shortly after college, I took a job with the local Chamber
of Commerce in my area planning corporate events. I met so many
influential people and learned so much about business etiquette during
my time there. Eventually this led me to accept a physician recruiting
role at the local hospital. I planned day-long interviews for
physicians, along with hotel stays and local itineraries so they could
see the area. I developed a love for recruiting and HR. I went on to
receive my masters degree in Human Resource Development. Eventually, I
took the roll of Director of Human Resources for Presque Isle
Electric. I love that it combines event planning (interviews, training
activities, employee events) with the human resource aspect.
