Can you tell me about your background?


After growing up on Long Island, I made my way to Boston to kickstart my academic journey at Northeastern University where I earned my Bachelor's Degree in Psychology. I delved into the world of contract and permanent staffing and have been recruiting accounting and finance professionals since 2011. I've been proud to be a New Englander since 2007, and enjoy raising our two boys, and working on our small farmstead when I'm not behind the desk.


What brought you to the recruiting?


I have always been a connector all my life, so connecting professionals and recruiting made sense. Getting to meet fascinating and ambitious individuals is one of the perks of my job. The real joy kicks in when these remarkable people come together through a successful hire. It's the magic of connecting the right talent, and that gives me passion for this field.


As for spearheading DWG's expansion into the New England market with Emily (Lorrey) Calicchio and Jacqueline Berman, it's personal for me. I've known them both for a solid decade, and let me tell you, they’re the real deal. Our combined values and dedication to seeing success, not just in candidates and clients, but in people as a whole, is something truly remarkable. Joining up to expand into the Boston market feels like helping our neighbors. I’m truly excited to contribute to its professional landscape.
