Bio
Jennifer Lewis, SHRM-SCP
I hired Nick (over 100's of other candidates) at H&C and he was a great addition to our staff. Nick had a positive attitude and was always willing to stay late and work overtime to ensure that deadlines were met. Nick was a true team player, and was invited back over multiple summers and school breaks based on his excellent work.
