As one of our Administrative Staffing Consultants, Tyia brings with her a background in human resources, marketing, and project management. She has spent her career up to this point working directly with people and helping others in our community. Tyia enjoys working with others to find what they are looking for. Her motto is to learn at least one thing from everyone she meets and also teach them something that she is able to pass on. Her empathy to help others makes her a successful consultant and vital team member. She was drawn to Preference because of the opportunity to help job seekers and companies in our area and developing relationships within our community. Her advice to prospective candidates is to not be afraid of stepping out of your comfort zone. “Don’t settle in a career! It can be a challenge to put yourself out there, but it allows you to grow and explore different opportunities.”
