Her experience in account management and on-call work proved to be invaluable as she effectively managed on-site operations and supported clients with their staffing needs. In 2022, Bridget made a transition to our Skilled Trades Division, bringing her extensive knowledge and expertise to the team. When Bridget isn't working, she prioritizes spending quality time with her loved ones. Whether it's her two stepsons, her grandchild, her two nieces, her two nephews, or her two fur babies, family is at the center of her world. Bridget also enjoys taking trips, exploring new places, and really immersing herself in different cultures. She finds joy in shopping, being out in nature, and cherishes the moments she spends on the family farm.
