Senior Technical Recruiter at Capital One

Sue is the eternal 'people connector' helping candidates connect with companies and managers and vice versa. The only time she dances is when people find their dream roles. Currently with Capital One as a senior technical recruiter.  
 
When she is not helping folks build their networks, you will find her hiking the woods around DC with her husband and their GSD. Both she and her husband are space geeks and host 'launch parties' at home.
