 SPECIAL PROJECTS TEAM

The Special Projects Team can quickly mobilize to manage critical recruiting needs. It is primarily used when a Client Company needs to fill multiple positions due to expansion - either immediate or long term - or to assist one of the Business Units in filling key positions within one of their regions.

The focus of the Special Projects Team is to fill URGENT positions. The team usually works on a retained basis and provides extra man (or woman) power to effectively fill those critical openings.

Prior to entering the executive recruiting world, my background was in loan administration, accounting and tax preparation for small to medium size businesses. I was also involved in financial planning. The thorough and comprehensive nature required by these professions has had a profound impact on the way that I approach recruiting.

Specializing in financial planning for families with disabilities and also professional athletes has given me a unique perspective on life. (Being only 4'9" tall and going to dinner with professional basketball players provided an interesting viewpoint. Attending the Little People of America National Convention and being the "tall" person in the crowd for the first time in my life provided a totally different outlook.)

I was a Board member for the Northwest Rett Syndrome Foundation (Rett is a neuro-developmental disability) from 1997 until 2002 and hold a designation as a Chartered Lifetime Assistance Planner (ChLAP) (specialty training for financial planning for adults and children with disabilities). Currently, I am the representative of The Gorge Group to the Oregon Bankers Association.

I've worked with little people and tall athletes. I've lived in small towns (Touchet, WA) and large cities, worked for Fortune 100 companies and two person operations. I understand the importance of lifestyle and corporate culture in finding the right employee for our Client Companies and finding the right environment for our Candidates.

Long-term matches that benefit both our Client Companies and our Candidates are my goals.
