Meet the Host
As a Career Development Consultant, much of my knowledge and expertise exude from my career as a federal Human Resource Specialist of 14 years. I am a Veteran of the United States Navy, where I honorably served for ten years, five months, and 16 days (I’ll never forget those numbers!). I graduated from Saint Leo University, a well-known and veteran-friendly educational institution, where I earned my bachelor’s degree in HR Management with a minor in Psychology.
