With a background in hospitality, I made the leap into recruiting when I joined Halpin — and I’ve loved every minute of connecting talent with opportunity! I’m passionate about building strong, lasting matches between clients and candidates by working with honesty, integrity, and a people-first approach.
When I’m not recruiting, you can usually find me listening to music, experimenting with photography, making art, getting lost in a good book, or hiking new trails.
