Life & Career Milestones
My path in life has been direct
1.
I earned my bachelor’s degree in operations and supply chain management from Indiana State University.
2.
I started a food truck with a friend in college.
3.
We eventually decided to close down the food truck business because it was just too cold to run successfully during the Indiana winters.
4.
I started working multiple side hustles, one of which was running a territory for senior care.
5.
Part of managing that territory meant hiring caregivers—the hiring process felt more like a hamster wheel than I’d like, so I sought out to improve the process.
6.
My brother was experiencing similar challenges with hiring in his work, so we partnered together and founded Qualifi, a virtual hiring platform that helps to streamline the recruitment process.
