?? **My Journey into Travel Healthcare** ??
When I first stepped into the travel healthcare industry, let’s be honest—I had no clue what I was doing! ?? My background was in restaurants, where I grew up in a family that owned restaurant franchises. At 14, I landed my first job as a busser/hostess in a small restaurant in a tourist community. I wore many hats through the years taking on roles as a server, bartender, manager, and everything in between. ???
Fast forward to early 2019: restaurants were closing, and uncertainty loomed about when they would reopen. I found myself at a crossroads, unsure of my next move. That’s when my brother, who had been thriving in travel healthcare for years, said, “It’d be perfect for you! You can work from home, have a career, and you’ll love it.” ??
The first couple of months were tough—like, really tough. ?? Learning the lingo, understanding the specialties, and everything else healthcare I didn’t know made it feel overwhelming. But then things started to flow. I immersed myself in social media groups and quickly discovered just how vast this industry is and how much need there was for someone who genuinely cared. ??
I knew I was on the right track when I started receiving invitations to weddings, baby showers, and other personal events from the travelers I had worked with. ?? It was a clear sign that I was not just a recruiter to them; I was building real connections and relationships.
I made a promise to myself: I didn’t want to be “just another recruiter.” I aimed to ensure that every traveler I worked with knew I genuinely cared, was transparent, and wanted to build real relationships. ?? I refused to treat anyone like a transaction. Whether a traveler was on an assignment with me or someone else, I wanted them to know that I’m there for them every step of the way and always available to answer questions.
?? I’d love to hear…… What brought you to this industry, and what do you do differently to set yourself apart?** ??
