Anjelica
Recruiter
Hi! My name is Anjelica, but most people know me as Jelly. Originally from the coast of northern California, I love the ocean and will always look for a reason to take a vacation to a beach. However, I have found myself happily landlocked in the beautiful Uinta Mountains for the last 15 years. Autumn is my favorite season, not because of the pumpkin spice lattes, but because the hiking is magical when the trees start to turn vibrant shades of red and orange. My family and I are always up for an outdoor adventure.
I recently joined the team as a nursing recruiter for U of U Health’s ICU and Acute Care Units. I love witnessing the impact that our employees have on patient care and the relationships built with each department.
The diversity and culture at U of U Health Hospitals and Clinics are unmatched and it makes for a uniquely wonderful environment to work in. Whether you are continuing your passion for healthcare or starting a new adventure in your career, please reach out and introduce yourself! I would love to chat!

I have been with U of U for 3 ½ years and I have been very grateful for my journey here!
Outside of work, I love to spend time with my husband, our dogs, and of course our family. Traveling and movies are our favorite things to do! I moved over to Utah 13 winters ago with my twin boys and we have two sons and a grandson back in Sydney. We have a saying in our family – we don’t bring home lost dogs, we bring home lost teenagers. We have a huge blended family with sons daughters, bonus sons, daughter-in-laws, grandpuppies, and grandkids. We are huge football and rugby fans. CTR (Choose the Red..Go Utes).

Hello, I’m Dominique, one of the Talent Acquisition Specialists on the team. I assist the recruiters in screening potential new hires identified, passing them along throughout the hiring process, and initiating their onboarding before New Employee Orientation.
Coming from a southern family, I have always had a love of cooking. Before I started with University of Utah Health, I have been running my own pie business for a little over two years called Pies the Limit. What started out as a hobby became something I envisioned leaving my future children one day to help build their own legacy.
