Brandi joined the Express Family in 2006, making her the most senior employee on the team next to the office owners. She originally joined the team out of high school as a Front Office Coordinator, and has since been promoted up the ranks through Junior Employment Specialist, Employment Specialist, Senior Employment Specialist, and most recently in 2023 to our site Office Manager. 

She is most proud of her longevity and loyalty to the Express team. She is consistently one of the top Employment Specialists in the nation, out of 800 franchise locations. She is also proud of raising two kids as a single mom.

Speaking of family, Brandi dedicates most of her free time to her kids and family. She loves watching her kids' sporting events, shopping, reading, camping, fishing, and off-roading. She is a hunter (whitetail, shed, and morel mushrooms), and also loves exploring local breweries (her favorites are Sons of Toil, Rhinegiest, and Urban Artifact).

If she were going to give a piece of advice to local companies, it would be to embrace active recruiting. The days of post-and-pray are over. It takes a multitude of different strategies to attract experienced candidates.

A little-known fact about Brandi is that she is an adrenaline junky and chronic speeder. After years of trying, she has decided that it's impossible to go the speed limit on Route 32. She was also a member of the former in-house Express Cinci East volleyball team, Staff Infection. 

Amy joined the Express Team in November of 2017, and has been an integral part of the daily operations since then. Amy originally served as a Front Office Coordinator, and quickly moved into the Junior Employment Specialist role, and eventually into an Employment Specialist role in 2020. 

Currently, Amy manages entry-level candidates for both industrial and office/administrative support positions. Her goal is to help people make a seamless entry or re-entry into the workforce. She is a primary point of contact for many of our candidates and clients, and is a critical part in the continued success of our team. 

Before joining Express, Amy worked with Hyde Park Lumber in a similar role. She is originally from Columbus, OH, where she was involved in the automotive industry. 

When she isn't running her desk, Amy spends her time with friends, family, and at her kids' sporting events. 

Amy's advice for job-seekers is to show up to work every day, ready to work. It's all about preparation and attendance! 

A little known fact about Amy is that she was a ballet dancer before having her first child. 

Haley is the newest addition to the Express Cincinnati East team, having joined in January 2023 as a Front Office Coordinator. She was quickly hired on through the Express process, and in July 2023 was promoted to a Junior Employment Specialist. She is a critical player in the hiring process, and is responsible for supporting the two Employment Specialists through interviews, recruiting, and screening. 

Prior to Express, Haley spent almost four years as a Paraprofessional working directly with special education children at one of the local schools. She has also worked for a family gospel group, where she handled scheduling, bookkeeping, and event coordination. 

Outside of the office, Haley enjoys video games, movies, singing, and drawing. Her favorite video game at the moment is FallOut, which she and her husband enjoy playing together. She also enjoys spending time with her dog Tonks. 

Working directly with job-seekers, Haley's best advice to applicants is to be intentional, honest, and know what your passions are. The best candidates are the ones who are eager to work and passionate about what they're doing.

Fun fact about Haley: She can tell you almost every song (and artist) on the radio at any time, and is a music and movie trivia buff. She has music records across many genresgoing back to the 1930's, and loves mafia and horror films - see if you can stump her with a trivia question! 

Cori joined the Express Cincinnati East team in 2009 as the Front Office Coordinator. She has since served in other Express locations in both Illinois and Cincinnati before returning for good to the Cincinnati East team. Cori has held  several roles for Express, moving from the front office to Payroll, to Employment Specialist, and as of 2023, the Operations & Marketing Manager for the office. She is again managing payroll, operations, and marketing.

Before joining Express, Cori graduated with an English & Journalism degree from the University of Cincinnati, but proceeded to pursue a role in Client Account Management for the Cincinnati radio station KISS 107FM. 

Cori's transition from the staffing side of Express has allowed her to utilize her core background of marketing, building local partnerships, and creative content creation. She has been voted as our team's writer; if you've received a campaign email from our team, Cori was likely the one behind it! 

Cori doesn't know how to sit still, so off the desk, you'll find her rock climbing, hiking, camping, paddling, playing soccer, reading, or hanging out with her daughter Sydni and dachshund Auggie. She is an alumni of the Express Volleyball Team, Staff Infection.

Her primary piece of advice from the operations side is to have clear expectations and communicate them throughout your team. Great communication is crucial to making long-lasting partnership decisions! 

Fun fact about Cori: She was born in the Philippines and was internationally adopted as a baby. She is also an ambassador for Hoxworth Blood Center, and encourages everyone to donate blood if they are able. You may even spot her face on some of the local ads!

Brittany joined the Express team in early 2022, and is currently the Front Office Coordinator. She is the typically the first point of contact for those visiting our office and calling in. Brittany's exemplary customer service skills ensure smooth operation for our clients and job-seeking associates. 

Prior to joining the Express family, Brittany worked at a local candy store, where she managed the front of house. 

Off the clock, Brittany can be found spending time with her family, which includes her husband, three daughters, and dog Hazel. She also coaches girls U-12 and U-14 soccer for one of the Cincinnati-area select leagues. She enjoys the challenge of teaching the skills valuable on and off the field, and is fortunate to have at least one of her daughters on the teams she coaches. 

Brittany is a perfect example of how the Express system works: She began as an associate through Express in 2022, and was eventually hired on as an internal employee, where she has since been able to expand her training across multiple in-house functions. She is an asset to the team and is able to apply her own experience with Express to assist job-seekers through the hiring process.

Her best advice to job-seekers is to always communicate! Whether it's a simple question, or something unexpected, having strong communication makes a world of difference. 

A fun fact about Brittany is that she will read a magazine from back to front (yes back to front), and her husband is her high school sweetheart! She is also the current reigning champion of the Express team footrace, which is exactly what it sounds like. 

Nick was born into the Express family, but formally joined the company in 2015. He is currently part of the Ownership team, and is also currently one of the Zone Developer Representatives. Before joining the team, he graduated from Ohio University, and also recently completed his Masters Degree. 

Inside Express, Nick is the go-to for data, tracking, and contract questions/negotiations. Outside of the Cincinnati East location, he works with the Developer to train and mentor sales reps at the other 21 locations in the Southern Ohio and Kentucky zone.

He is heavily involved in his community, sits on the board for the Little Miami River Chamber Alliance, NEST Community Learning Center, and founded Loveland Young Professionals. He is also on the Loveland Beautification Committee and the Tree and Environment Committee.

When he isn't working with Express and his community, you can find Nick covered with sawdust in his wood shop, rock climbing, or enjoying family life with his wife Rami and their son Leon. He is also the Co-Founder and Community Outreach Director for OnBrand Podcast Studio, a mission to give a give a podcast platform to local community-led organizations, led by his brother Alex. 

When asked for advice for clients, he responded, "Find the right people, align them to your vision, and get out of their way." He spoke about the value of creating and maintaining strong company culture. "Over 80% of employee-led turnover is because of the co-workers, managers, or lack of mentors - not pay or job duties."
