Bio
Hi, I'm Casey! I'm a digital nomad and passionate remote work advocate, and I’ve been in TA for the past 7 years, supporting global tech companies. I’m currently a Senior Contract Recruiter at Testlio, a remote-first software testing company, and I’m also a proud co-founder of a global TA networking community called TotallyTA. If I had to describe myself in a few words, I’d say I’m a people connector, empathetic storyteller, and community builder. I love what I do, and I’m not afraid to show it!
