Chuck Solomon Yeah, Thank you for joining. Before we get started, can you share a little bit about yourself and what you're up to now?

Carrie Corcoran Absolutely. I live in Tulsa, Oklahoma, with my husband and my French bulldog, cosmopolitan girl. She's our burr baby. Yep. We're one of those couples and I have been in employer brand recruitment, marketing and talent attraction for over ten years now. And I'm a strategic senior level employer, employer, brand leader, talent, matchmaker, and connector. And I always lead with a marketing mindset. I truly enjoy a data driven approach to design and also deliver game changing, integrated employer brand programs for companies. And right now I am exploring consulting engagements or part time contract opportunities as well as full time employee opportunities. So I'm I'm open to what is out there and want to make sure that it's the best fit for me as well as the company. So I'm I'm taking my time to decide what's right.
