Pros
Sebrona has been an incredible recruiter to work with during my job search for travel vascular sonography positions. From our very first conversation, she took the time to actually understand what I was looking for, not just throwing generic openings at me, but paying attention to my specialty, my preferences, and my timeline. She's responsive, communicative, and genuinely invested in finding the right fit rather than just filling a slot. Any time I had a question, she got back to me quickly with clear, honest answers. No runaround, no overselling a position just to close it out. Working with Sebrona has made the often stressful process of job hunting feel a lot more manageable. I'd recommend her to any traveler looking for a recruiter who actually listens and follows through.

About
Lexington is a college town with a rich history, located in Virginia's Shenandoah Valley with the Blue Ridge Mountains to the east and the Alleghenies to the west. It has an impressive number of historic sites and museums with ties to the Civil War, making it ideal for history enthusiasts. Confederate Generals Robert E. Lee and Thomas J. "Stonewall" Jackson lived and were buried here. The VMI Museum, Miller's House Museum, the Stonewall Jackson House and the University Chapel & Museum provide more details about the local history and America's war history. Horse-drawn carriage tours are ideal for getting a narrated overview of the town. Locally owned boutiques and farm-to-table eateries line the walkable downtown area and on the First Friday of every month, browse the art galleries while enjoying live local music. After dark, multiple venues offer live entertainment, from local musicians to DJs and karaoke.
