Tami Putnam recently joined our team coming from Stephen F. Austin State University (SFASU).  After graduating from SFASU with a Health Science degree in May of 2007, she went to work for Nacogdoches Safe & Drug Free. Tami implemented programs within the schools and community to encourage young adults to make healthy choices as they progress to adulthood.  Within a year she had the opportunity to return to SFASU as a Coordinator for Piney Woods Area Health Education Center (PWAHEC).  As she grew with PWAHEC coordinating health programs in the community, Tami was offered a position with the Nursing Department at the university.  For the remainder of her time with SFASU, she managed a grant that addressed the attrition rate within fourteen east Texas nursing programs. Tami is a single mother of two wonderful boys and enjoys spending time with her family and friends when she is not recruiting for Professional Search & Recruiting.
