A Very Lucky Girl

Last week marked 2 months with Regent Bank. Two months since I took a deep breath and turned the page to a chapter that I knew nothing about. Since January 2016, I had worked for Addison Group--a recruiting firm based out of Chicago, but with a local OKC office. I focused on positions within Information Technology and in July of 2017 I moved to a team with a focus specifically on permanent placement, rather than contract or contract to hire.

I ate my lunch with an ice cream scoop twice.  I have SO much support! Thankful for sweet friends and encouraging calls and texts as I transition to this new time...
