Patricia Lowery

As a results oriented professional, I have had the opportunity to develop and build a diverse recruiting background in talent acquisition and talent management during my years in Human Resources. The landscape consisted of financial services, corporate, software and hardware development, entertainment, manufacturing, and leadership positions for publicly and privately held organizations with one, multiple and nationwide location(s). After retiring in 2021, I am currently looking for part-time work where I may continue to add value and be a results-oriented team member.
