Jaren Sturdevant Verser, Administrative and Human Resources Professional

About

I'm a self-starter with 5 years of experience in business management. In those 5 years, I excelled in Human Resources, Leadership, and Administrative Support. I was able to improve my skills in HR and Administrative Support with my previous position at Hiebing. I had to step away from on-site work and focus on remote positions for my health. My goal is to take my skills and make a difference in people's lives. Using open communication and my empathetic nature, I'm the person you'll want to come to for solutions. Outside of work, I'm a lover of all art and dabble in a bit of art myself from digital art to ceramics and beyond. I'm a lover of nature and find strength in water, earth and air. I'm a plant lover as long as they're outside and they don't need me to water them. My two golden retrievers make me laugh, and I love spending time with them and my husband.
