I've been in recruiting for going on 12 years now, and I absolutely love what I do. I started as a contractor with Facebook back in 2014, brought on as a university coordinator with no experience in recruiting - I actually came from insurance. But I was able to parallel what I did into recruiting, and I quickly grew to love the recruiting aspect. I would help out wherever I could, and was able to transfer over to a recruiter role a year and a half later. I've been in university recruiting ever since, primarily in software engineering recruiting for the majority of my time, though I was also able to recruit for data science as well as product, which includes UX research and design, which was a lot of fun. I was at Facebook until 2023, and then moved over to Lennar, where myself and a fellow former Facebook colleague helped create their university recruiting program, and we were there for over 2 years. I'm pretty proud that we were able to get Forbes Best Company for New Grads at Lennar - they didn't have a formal new grad program before, and within a year and a half, we were recognized by Forbes as a top company for new grads. Currently, I'm a contract university recruiter for Vienta, where I'm hiring software engineers into their new grad program. I've only been in this role 2 months - they decided to increase their new grad cohort and brought in somebody with university recruiting expertise to help hire the 2026 group.
