My life can be summed up in one word: Perspective.

Born & raised in New Jersey, I've always appreciated unique perspectives and the details beyond the surface. My family grew up juxtaposed between two worlds, living on the border of a wealthy town & a working class neighborhood. I’d spend all day at a private school (well off kids) & then come home to play basketball or a game of 8-ball with my friends from the next town over (not so well off kids).

I didn’t appreciate my unique perspective until I asked a few school friends why they couldn’t come over - they weren’t allowed to hang out in our “bad neighborhood.” Meanwhile, this neighborhood was made up of the hardest working, kind-hearted souls you’ll ever meet. I still cherish those relationships to this day.

Great people can come from all walks of life. Period.

I tell you this because it defined the kind of professional I grew into. These formative experiences have allowed me to cultivate a successful recruiting career that was built on curiosity & an appreciation for unique perspectives. I'm the kind of recruiter that will try to find out the nuances of what someone did, beyond just the high-level.

It’s allowed me to thrive in environments where:

1) There is a team committed to building trust.

2) There is a meaningful problem being solved by a top-tier team.

3) There is a culture of continuous improvement & an acceptance of failing forward.

4) There is a bias for direct communication and getting things done.

5) Leaders demonstrate thoughtful decision making, real-time feedback & an openness to new ideas.

These guiding principles have enabled me to scale teams across industries including my own small business (a local ice cream store), fast growing startups, Fortune 500 companies, and everything in between.
