Emily is simply the best to work with period. I hadn’t been in the market for work in a while and as I began my search I was lucky to cross paths with Emily. She matched me with the type of opportunity I was looking for and supported me throughout the process till hire. I had never worked with a recruiter personally before but Emily has set the bar high!

So grateful to have met her and highly suggest getting in contact with her if you’re in the market or just curious!!
