Meet Bitsy
Bitsy was born in New Orleans, LA but grew up in St. Louis, MO, and Paducah, KY. After college at Transylvania University, she moved to Florence, Italy for 3 years to study footwear and accessory design. She then moved to NYC to work in the fashion industry. She has been living in Toledo for about 8 years with her husband. Bitsy brings lots of experience working in unique industries.
During her career, she has been:
- Lifeguard
- Server
- Footwear/ accessory designer/ production coordinator
- Sales executive
All of these roads have led her to recruiting. Prior to joining endevis, she worked in RPO management for 3 years. "I fell in love with RPO because you can make a difference in someone's life on a daily basis," Bitsy states.
Bitsy resides in Toledo with her husband and two children. Outside of work, she enjoys spending time with her family, baking with her daughters, and making fresh pasta.
