Who We Are

With over 11 years of recruiting experience, I’ve spent most of my career specializing in the elevator industry, working with both major and independent companies, union and non-union. I also have experience in manufacturing, and my team and I welcome opportunities to explore new industries and tackle fresh challenges.

Since founding Prodigy Executive Search in 2020, I’ve relied on my experience in strategic recruiting and relationship-building to help people and clients succeed, focusing on meaningful connections and the right fit for long-term success.

For clients, I offer a relationship-driven approach backed by years of industry knowledge and a broad network of top talent. I understand that hiring is one of the most critical investments a company makes, and I’m here to make the process easier from sourcing and screening to negotiating final offers. I focus on finding the right fit, including talent that’s often off the radar, ensuring long-term success for both the individual and the organization.

For people interested in elevating their career, my approach is personalized and thoughtful. I take the time to understand your career goals before exploring opportunities, ensuring you’re never forced into a role just to fill a position. I go beyond skills matching, considering company culture, organizational structure, workplace environment, travel requirements, and benefits. Confidentiality and respect guide every interaction. My goal is to help you take meaningful steps in your career while making the process as smooth and strategic as possible.

Outside of work, I enjoy time with family, biking, traveling, and Friday dinners out with friends and family. I’m proud of my two WVU Mountaineers: my son Jakob who works for Otis Elevator, and my daughter Hailey who is pursuing medical school. My husband and I are empty nesters though we’ve happily inherited my son’s sassy lion-head bunny Burnett from his college days…she keeps life interesting!

I have 14+ years of experience in recruiting and talent acquisition, with specialized expertise in the manufacturing and elevator industries. In addition to my work at Prodigy Executive Search, my husband and I run a coffee roasting company together (Gnosis Coffee Roasters). In just 3.5 years, we’ve experienced a lot of exciting growth, already outgrowing our first space and upgrading to a larger roaster to keep up with demand.

I’m happiest when I’m outdoors, especially in the garden (flowers are my favorite thing to grow). When I’m not digging in the dirt, you’ll probably find me in the kitchen baking or hanging out with my cat. I’m a big believer in self-growth and healing, so I’m often diving into a new course or program (because learning never really ends!). Oh, and I’m also Reiki I certified!

In my spare time, I volunteer with DIG Furniture Bank, a local nonprofit that provides gently used furniture and household items to families in need. In addition, I’ve been an active supporter of Kiva.org for over 15 years, making 134 loans that have impacted more than 370 individuals in 36 countries.

I believe recruiting is about building genuine connections and matching people with opportunities where they can thrive long term, and that’s what you’ll get when you work with us at Prodigy!

I have a background as an elementary school teacher, which has given me a strong foundation in communication, relationship-building, and finding creative ways to engage with people. As Recruiting Manager at Prodigy Executive Search, I bring that creativity and connection to candidate outreach and communications, ensuring each interaction is personal and meaningful. My philosophy centers on building connections and creating memorable conversations. I believe recruiting isn’t just about filling roles, it’s about helping people take exciting steps in their careers while supporting companies in building stronger teams.

Outside of work, I enjoy baking, hiking, puzzles, gardening, and attending concerts. A fun fact about me: I have a lop-eared bunny named Luna who loves bananas. I also enjoy Cricuting and running a small side business creating and selling sweatshirts, signs, and other custom designs.

At Prodigy Executive Search, I support research and backend operations. Through this work, I’ve learned that career decisions are deeply personal and that they’re shaped by someone’s goals, personality, and values. Even though my path is ultimately in medicine, this experience has helped me develop trust-building skills that I know will be vital as a future physician.

I am currently studying Premed Biology at West Virginia University with plans to attend medical school and specialize in pediatric rheumatology. On campus, I stay active through the Premed Club and Mortar Board Honors Society, and I serve as a teaching assistant. I also volunteer with the Arthritis Foundation, which has reinforced my interest in caring for children with autoimmune disorders.

In addition to my coursework, I conduct regeneration research in the Arnold Lab using planarian flatworms. Outside of academics and interning, I enjoy traveling, exploring new coffee shops, watching movies with my family, and spending time with friends.

Burnett is our resident Chief Cuteness Officer, bringing joy, fluff, and plenty of sass to the office every day. Her specialties include strategic napping, carrot quality control, and keeping us entertained with her unpredictable antics. Though she’s rarely cuddly, watching her work (and occasionally misbehave) is a highlight of our day. Tiny in size but huge in personality, Burnett keeps our spirits high and proves even the smallest team member can make the biggest impact.
