Have you met JURISolutions' newest team members?
Julia Lappin
Julia works in business development for JURISolutions' government services team. Prior to joining JSL, she was part of a field team in charge of sales for a pharmaceutical company and was later promoted to assistant project manager. Since JSL's government contracting service line has been growing rapidly over the past few years, Julia is excited to contribute to the team's continued success.
Julia received her B.A in marketing from Philadelphia University. Before majoring in marketing, she studied fashion merchandising and worked for a company that did merchandising for a large, clothing retailer. Not only was it fun, but she was able to take home many gifts!
Darlene Sistrunk
Darlene has years of experience in recruiting and business development and she is a member of JSL's recruitment team. She loves having the opportunity to connect and build lasting relationships with both candidates and clients. Darlene also has a personal interest in the legal industry, which was one of the reasons she was drawn to a role with JSL. She is already taking the legal community by storm and is looking forward to growing her network of legal connections.
Darlene earned both her B.A. and M.B.A from Rosemont College. When she's not in the office, Darlene can be found performing around Philadelphia as a stand-up comic. She also enjoys writing poetry and short stories.
Christopher Lins
Chris is the newest member of JSL's Attorney Development team. Prior to joining JSL, he served as an attorney specializing in construction litigation, election law, and labor and employment matters. He decided to pursue a career in legal recruitment after working with JSL as a candidate, and being successfully placed into his prior role. He is enthusiastic about using his law degree in a non-traditional way, and he is thrilled to be a part of the future of legal services.
Chris received a J.D. from Temple University and earned his B.A. in Political Science from Washington and Lee University. During his spare time, Chris enjoys painting and tapping into his creative side.
Faye Gifford
Faye is a recruiter for JSL's executive search service line. Her law career started in civil litigation at a boutique firm in Philadelphia. She later moved in-house to work for a company that specializes in developing commercial real estate and renewable energy. After realizing how much she enjoys working with clients and helping attorneys take the next step in their careers, she decided to join the JSL recruiting team.
Faye received her J.D. from Villanova University and a B.A. from Temple University. A fun fact about Faye is that she is an outdoors enthusiast. When she's not in the office, you will find her scuba diving or in the mountains camping, hunting, or hiking.
