When I was in college, I actually started school in dietetics. I was about to graduate in dietetics, and I told my mom, I was like, I'm bored, I wanna interact and socialize more with people. So my dad was like, why don't you look into human resources? And at the time, I truly did not even know what that was. I met with my advisor, who we're actually still very close to this day, and she is in HR as well. She has her doctorates and everything, and she was like, I think you would be a great fit. Before I just changed my major, I got into SHRM, the organization at Nichols, and I was a recruiter for SHRM. So I would go to different high schools and recruit people to come to Nichols and explain all of the programs and the classes that we have, and that's when I told her, I was like, I want to be a recruiter. I like to talk to people, but mainly when it comes to recruiting for a position, I like the phone call that I give people to say, hey, you got the job. There's groups of interviews, there's 10 or so people that interview for certain positions, and just having that one phone call with them just lights me up every single time, because I like helping people, and even though I don't work in a hospital, I'm helping people make a living. I'm helping people have income. I'm helping people grow in the industry that they're in.
