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
As Washington State's capital city, Olympia offers an ideal mix of cultural and natural attractions. Its unique downtown waterfront offers diverse shopping and dining venues, with Percival Landing Park at its heart. The Park provides some of the best views of the Olympic Mountains, the marina, the Capitol building and the area's abundant wildlife. Watch for sea otters, seals, bald eagles and even the occasional pod of orca whales as part of the area’s natural splendor. It also serves as a hub for special events and public celebrations like the annual Olympic Harbor Day Festival held over Labor Day Weekend, one of the largest maritime festivals in the state. Paddleboarding, sailing, boating and fishing for salmon or sea-run cutthroat trout are all popular pursuits.
