AMP Careers.

How long have you been with AMP?

I’m nearing three years. August 14th will be my three-year anniversary. I remember that date clearly because I was a college graduate looking for a home and AMP’s values and the people I met stood out to me.

What drew you to AMP in the first place?

I loved how transparent the recruiters were, especially Alex Hogan, who is now my manager. She made me feel seen and respected. I also grew up around small businesses, with both my dad and my stepdad owning their own, so helping hardworking small business owners with marketing and social media really resonated with me.

What do you find most rewarding about working at AMP?

Seeing people I’ve recruited grow into successful salespeople or account managers is incredibly rewarding. Witnessing their full-circle moments, knowing both they and I have succeeded, is one of the best parts of the job.

You’ve received multiple recognitions and were named Hiring Manager of the Year for 2025. What contributed most to your success?

It started with learning from my first year, when I struggled to find success despite my enthusiasm. In 2025, my focus was to “feel accomplished,” so I set daily goals, tracked progress, and committed to improving a little each day. That consistency and drive helped me reach the top.

What have these achievements taught you about yourself?

I’m not a quitter. I am resilient. Rejection happens, but I’ve learned to adapt, overcome challenges, and push past setbacks. Seeing my own growth from the bottom to where I am now is something I’ll always carry with me.

Was there anyone or anything that helped you focus on your goals?

Definitely my teammate Gabby Smith. Seeing her success early on inspired me to catch up, and our friendship, inside and outside of work, has been a huge motivator.

What key skills or practices helped you be successful in your role?

Believing in the process was key. In the beginning, it was easy to doubt myself, but reminders from managers and teammates, as well as personal notes from hires and colleagues in my “belief bank” folder, reinforced that I was chosen for a reason.

How do you continue to stay motivated?

I set goals and revisit past successes, like my Hiring Manager of the Year award. Reliving those moments fuels me to keep achieving and striving for excellence every day.

Where do you see yourself in the next five years, and how are you preparing for it?

I see myself in a leadership role, supporting new hires like I was supported when I started. I make it a point to connect with every new recruiter, encouraging them and showing them they have an ally. That approach is how I’m preparing for future leadership opportunities.

What advice would you give someone starting at AMP?

Be willing to try and have a positive attitude. You don’t need to be an expert immediately. Focus on enjoying the process, being genuinely curious, and having fun in your conversations. That energy translates and makes a real difference in your success.

I try to meet them where they are and give them something they can actually use to grow.

You were recently recognized as Top Rookie and received the Distinguished Sales Award for 2025. Congratulations! What contributed most to that success?

It really comes down to persistence and consistency. I focus on getting in front of as many businesses as possible, asking the right questions, and listening.
