What brought you to Medrec?
I was very impressed by the stability of the company and the number of years Medrec has been in business. The company has an incredible reputation as a leader in the medical staffing industry. I was also very impressed with Peter and his goals for the Travel Division and Medrec.

Tell us about your family.
I am a very lucky lady to be married to the most wonderful man in the world. Joe and I will celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary in February. Joe is a VP in the Corporate Properties Group for Wells Fargo Bank and he has been with WF for 37 years. We have 2 sons, Brad and Doug, who both live in Austin.

Doug and Jess have 4 beautiful children, Chandler, Preston, Cameron, Kennedy, that are the light of our lives. We call them the “Fab 4” and they quite the entertainment package.

What is something that most people do not know about you?
I grew up in Midland, TX and went to school with the Bush boys. We attended lots of kid’s parties at the Bush house with the President and first lady. The Bushs’ had a beautiful welcoming home, and they always made everyone feel at home.

Where did you grow up?
I was born in Amarillo, Texas and we immediately moved to Midland, TX. My dad was transferred to Harlingen, Texas when I was in my junior year in high school, and I graduated from Harlingen High School. Moving in my junior year was really tough but I made friends fast and ended up having a really super senior year.

How would your family and friends describe you?
My family would describe me as the powerhouse of the family. I am the organizer, planner, leader, and the one that makes sure my family is taken care of. My boys would say that I am the heart of the family, and that I have the biggest softest heart when it comes to them. My friends would describe me as a good friend that they can depend on for anything. They all see me as some sort of super woman with all that I am involved in and have been able to accomplish.

What do you like best about your job, and/or current assignment?
My team is my favorite part of my job at Medrec. They are all super as is all of the staff in the company. I am excited to be a part of the Medrec team and anxious to be part of our taking the Travel Division to the top producers in the company.

What do you do when you are not at work?
I love to spend quality time with my family doing anything and everything. We all have such a good time together, and we try to spend as much time as possible together. We usually take all our vacations together, and we have so much fun planning our trips and all the activities wherever we go.

What made you want to become the Travel Division Manager at Medrec?
I have 8 years of experience working with and staffing all the Allied modalities. I have always preferred the therapies because of the professionalism of the therapist.

What is a job experience you will never forget?
Several years ago when I was a RVP in a national staffing firm, I was able to land a state wide account that resulted in billings the first year of over $6 million dollars. We kept this account for 3 years and it grew in revenue 20 to 30% year over year.

If you could go anywhere in the world, where would you go and why?
We love to travel in the USA. There is so much to see in each state in the USA and so many interesting places to see and things to do in each state. We have traveled nationally but still prefer to stay stateside. We have spent a great deal of time traveling in California and Florida and still have places we have not seen. Orlando is our favorite place to go over the Christmas holidays.

Anything else you would like us to know about you?
I love being part of the Medrec team, and I am looking forward to contributing to our continued success.
