America Online IncHR Manager & Talent Acquisition Consultant
Jan. 1999 - Dec. 2004I joined AOL in this pre-merger period, where the frenetic pace and desire to change the world made me anxious and excited to go to work every day. I spearheaded a fabulous college internship program, recruited nationwide for ivy-league interns, and partnered with the line leaders to get many of them placed full-time. I was truly fortunate to follow up my college recruiting role with a move into an HR leadership role supporting two diverse, but equally exciting, groups--AOL Product Marketing and Interactive Marketing. Coaching my clients was always my passion and I spent many hours advocating for them, while supporting the mission of the company.

It was an incredible job that allowed me to learn customer service from the best and, of course, hone my recruiting craft. I owe a huge debt of gratitude to my brilliant mentors at Disney, Mary Ellen Windsor and Sharon Paone, who gave me my first shot.
