Meet Our Team
I am the President of The Smith Consulting Group. I started recruiting in 1986 for a large national search firm and came back into the industry in 2001 after spending the bulk of my career in outside sales and sales management. It was a natural progression to start my own firm in 2006. Since that time, The Smith Consulting Group has specialized in civil engineering and architecture. I love living in a small town in the Midwest with my husband, kids, and our dog Toulah.
What food do you crave more than any other? - Hands down, pizza. I could eat pizza everyday of the week.

I lead our firm’s marketing and business development efforts. I have spent 30 years of my career in different roles within commercial general contracting and the wireless tower construction business. The experience and knowledge I gained throughout my construction career enables me to have a keen understanding of your hiring needs; I have been a hiring manager and I have been a candidate. I am a graduate of Michigan State University with a degree in Construction Management. An avid runner and outdoorsman, I enjoy the four seasons of Michigan.
What is your biggest regret? - Not taking that offer to be a starting quarterback in the NFL... no wait, that definitely did not happen! Biggest regret business wise would be not having the advice that I dispense now for intentionally moving my career forward earlier in my career. I would have initiated more conversations with the people above me for guidance, advice and input.

As a Search Consultant, I have over 20 years of recruiting experience, with over 10 years’ experience in the civil engineering and architecture space. I love what I do, which includes finding the best talent for our clients to help grow their firms as well as helping our candidates grow both professionally and personally. I am a graduate of George Mason University with a BA in Business/Marketing. I have an awesome 29 year old daughter and am fortunate to call Florida my home, as I love the beach, water sports, and sunset yoga!
