Kim Phillips Nakatani

Owner

Born and raised in Santa Cruz, I ventured into the staffing industry as a Cabrillo College student in search of flexible work. My journey began as a receptionist at Express Employment Professionals, where I quickly fell in love with the company's dynamic environment. The fast pace, the opportunity to assist a diverse range of people, the meaningful work, and the many vibrant personalities I encountered made every day a joy.

Over the years, I completed numerous classes and training courses, advanced through several positions within the company. Today, I am the proud owner of this unique and lively office. With over 30 years of experience at Express Employment Professionals, I bring a wealth of staffing knowledge to the table.

I value honesty, positivity, continuous learning, and creative thinking. Building strong relationships is at the heart of what I do. My expertise spans leadership, office management, recruiting, payroll, customer service, sales, and small business ownership.

When I'm not busy at work, you'll find me enjoying time with my family and friends, engaging in art projects, reading, exercising, listening to music, exploring the local woods, and finding humor in almost every situation. Let's connect and make great things happen together!
