Recruitment & Support

I decided to go into public health with the goal of changing how healthcare is handled in our country. I felt like recruitment would allow me to make an impact by connecting great physicians and providers to communities in need. I hope to make a further impact in the future of recruitment and healthcare policy so providers can focus more on treating patients instead of getting caught up in the red tape. I want to help providers practice to their fullest potential.

At the heart of healthcare are the providers. When you think of your personal healthcare, you think of your doctor first. We can’t open clinics or provide treatments and services without them, so finding the right provider for the right position is important. I enjoy making a match for both the position and the provider. PS&D is the future of provider recruitment, and I want to offer this innovation to all candidates.

I've always felt called to service, and I thrive being able to help providers find the right career path. My mom's best friend got a tattoo of a spoon on her arm to remind her of her calling to serve. This has always resonated with me, and I want to be the “spoon” for our providers and our community partners. This is especially true for the small, rural areas that most critically need health services. Growing up in rural Iowa, I understand that need well.

I connect with people to find common ground, to foster relationships, and understand different perspectives. I am proud to work in a role that makes a positive impact for those I work with directly — (candidates, hiring partners and coworkers), as well as the many who are indirectly impacted, like patients in need, clinical staff and my community as a whole. I am proud of the work our team does, and I am grateful to experience this journey with a wonderful group of people at PS&D and Providence.

I was working and going to school full-time and found myself exhausted rather than feeling passionate and energized. I got a job in healthcare recruitment and loved providing access to care for people who needed it, like my family. Working at PS&D has been amazing. I love my career now. I have been so impressed with the passion every single person approaches their jobs with. It lights my soul on fire to able to serve our communities in such a meaningful way.

I started in recruitment working for a staffing agency. At the same time, I became an EMT and volunteer firefighter. A couple years later, I joined the Air National Guard as a firefighter and worked for American Medical Response doing night shift on an ambulance. When this position at PS&D opened, I knew it would be the right fit. It has allowed me to combine my recruitment experience and my passion for serving others into one job.
