Over the past seventeen years I have worked in talent acquisition and deployment, learning the staffing industry from the ground up. I joined Luttrell Staffing Group in 2022 and am currently the Area Manager overseeing Santa Maria and San Luis Obispo California branches. I joined Luttrell staffing Group because I believe in the same core values of excellence, grit, integrity, and service. I am a firm believer that you should treat people the way you would like to be treated, do the right thing even when no one is looking, and always follow the internal moral compass that guides you. I was born and raised on the central coast of California. I enjoy golfing, hiking, camping, spending time with friends and family. I am grateful to work for an organization that makes people matter most.
