Tisha Hamilton
Travel Talent Consultant & Account Manager
Bio
Tisha’s passion for healthcare started early—when she was just six years old, a family friend who was a nurse gave her a stethoscope, and she was hooked. That moment sparked a lifelong love for the field that led to a nursing career and, eventually, over 15 years in healthcare staffing. Now, as an Account Manager, Tisha brings together her clinical background and deep staffing experience to build strong, lasting partnerships. She’s known for her ability to adapt quickly, advocate fiercely, and bring genuine empathy to every conversation—whether she’s supporting a traveler or collaborating with a facility. Tisha believes in creating positive experiences on both sides of every placement, and she’s proud to play a part in strengthening the healthcare system from the inside out. At home, she’s a proud mom of three and stays motivated knowing her work helps make a difference for families just like hers across the country. When she’s not working, you’ll likely find her enjoying quality time with her kids—and maybe even reminiscing about that first little stethoscope that started it all.
