I have been with the Minnesota Merit System for approximately 7 Years. I am responsible for all aspects of the professional level job classifications which includes posting, reviewing applications and allocating job classifications. These classifications consist of County Agency Social Worker, Public Health Nurse, Registered Nurse, Public Health Educator, Fiscal Officer, and Mental Health Professional just to name a few. I also recruit for our county partners by attending job fairs, conferences and posting on Minnesota Social Service Administration and various other targeted sites and college job boards. I run and generate various reports from our HRIS system as well as run reports from NEOGOV. I update and maintain our NEOGOV system which also includes our Career Page.
Prior to joining the Minnesota Merit System I worked as a Human Resources Specialist for the Minnesota Department of Human Services and performed full cycle recruiting and hiring for the Health Care Division, MNsure and Direct Care and Treatment Support. Some of the other state agencies that I have previously worked for include the Department of Trade and Economic Development, which is now the Department of Employment and Economic Development, Minnesota Pollution Control Agency, Department of Employee Relations, which is now Minnesota Management and Budget and the Department of Public Safety.
When not working, I enjoy gardening, disc golfing, playing pickleball, traveling and hanging out with my husband, Joe and our brown tabby cat, Howard.
