Rachel is an awesome recruiter. She is very responsive, very active, checks in on me regularly, and a great advocate. She is also genuinely a joy to speak to as well.

Over 800 miles of biking trails and countless others for walking, running or hiking draw outdoor enthusiasts. Just southwest of downtown is Gray's Lake Park, with a 1.9-mile trail that circles the lake, a designated beach area for swimming and boat rentals for those wanting to take out canoes and sailboats.
