As a Manager of Recruitment at Ascend, I work with students to identify their career passions and match them with meaningful full-time, part-time, or internship opportunities within the state. I work primarily with students who have an interest in business, logistics, manufacturing, or technology roles and advocate on their behalf to Ascend's many partner employers. I am originally from Wisconsin, so yes, I am also a stereotypical cheesehead. I love the Packers, the Badgers, and cheese in any form! Outside of work, I am an avid guitar player, music fanatic (fav band: Bon Iver), movie buff, trivia wiz, and breakfast taco devotee.
