What was your career path before Lewis?
Before joining Lewis, my career journey was diverse and ever-evolving. I began as a Pastry Chef at the Ritz-Carlton and Spago, then pivoted to law, earning my degree in 2000 and working in mediation for the L.A. County Bar Association. In 2005, I moved into real estate and mortgage lending, and by 2015, I transitioned into legal recruiting with Robert Half Legal, eventually joining Lewis in 2018.
What’s your favorite part of your job?
One of the most rewarding parts of my job as a recruiter is helping people find opportunities that align with their goals and passions. There’s something incredibly fulfilling about being the bridge between a talented candidate and the right role—watching someone’s confidence grow through the hiring process and seeing them thrive in a position they’re excited about. Every successful placement feels like a win for everyone involved.
