Radiology - Women's Imager

Professional Background: I began my healthcare recruiting career in 2008 with The Curare Group, where I recruited physicians and advanced practice providers, led a recruiting team, and helped build the company’s locum tenens division. I later spent more than seven years leading clinical and executive recruiting for Humana’s Conviva and CenterWell organizations, supporting more than 110 value-based primary care centers across Florida and Texas and continuing on as the organization grew to 14 states and over 300 centers. Most recently, I served as Director of Talent Acquisition for Cano Health, leading physician, APP, clinical, and operational recruiting during a major organizational restructuring. My areas of expertise include physician and APP recruitment, value-based primary care, executive and leadership search, difficult-to-fill clinical roles, recruiting strategy, and developing long-term partnerships with healthcare leaders. Throughout my career, I have focused on building recruiting programs that improve candidate engagement, reduce time-to-fill, strengthen employer brands, and connect healthcare organizations with clinicians who can make a lasting impact in their communities.

Approach: My approach begins with listening. I want to understand what matters most to each candidate: the type of medicine they want to practice, the patients they want to serve, their family and geographic priorities, compensation expectations, and long-term career goals. I believe candidates deserve transparency, preparation, and consistent communication. I take the time to explain the opportunity clearly, identify potential concerns early, help candidates present their experience effectively, and prepare them for each stage of the interview process. I also stay closely involved through interviews, offer discussions, contract review, and the transition into a new role. The relationships I build are never intended to be transactional. My goal is to become a trusted career resource. I strive to be someone that candidates and clients can call for an honest conversation, even when there is no immediate placement involved. Success means creating the right long-term match for the clinician, the organization, and the community they will serve.

Fun Fact / Outside of Work: Outside of work, I’m an avid mountain biker and enjoy working on cars and other hands-on projects. Before building my career in healthcare recruiting, I owned and operated Hoosier Heights, an indoor rock-climbing facility, and later co-owned Salt Creek Cycles, a community-focused bicycle shop in Bloomington. Those experiences shaped my entrepreneurial mindset and reinforced the importance of customer service, community involvement, and building relationships that last.
