Out of Office
My ideal weekend includes…being on a boat or exploring a rocky beach, somewhere sunny, with the people I love.
The best concert I’ve ever been to was…Paula Abdul in 1991. It was my first concert and she was my first musical obsession. You couldn’t find a happier kid in the state of Connecticut on that day.
Go-to coffee order…a redeye or a nitro brew.
My most used app (besides email) is…LinkedIn, Instagram, and the Weather App.
The best piece of career advice I’ve ever received is…”shut up and listen…”- it is a simple reminder that being in a people centric business, understanding the people on the other line is so important so saying less and listening more intently is critical.
People come to me when they need…internally, people come to me when they need someone to see the next three steps of a problem, not just the one in front of them, and to help chart a path forward. My candidates and clients come to me when the obvious answer isn’t working and they need someone who can see the pattern underneath the problem – whether it’s in a search, a comp structure, or a team dynamic.
My superpower at Cardea is…resiliency. The firm and team have been through several changes over the years, and I’ve remained a steadfast leader throughout, committed to working diligently on behalf of our clients and candidates alike.
Favorite workout…strength training.
