I am an actress-slash-makeup artist turned head-hunter and Certified Diversity & Inclusion Recruiter (CDR).  Using diversity-first headhunting tactics and my “Maverick”/”get it done” attitude, I’ve built my reputation as an expert sourcer, strategic adviser, and candidate advocate, primarily within the commercial real estate industry. I’ve been recognized as a Crain’s NY Notable HR Leader 2022, as well as named Top Recruiter 2021 and 2022 via TopRecruiter.co.

 

I first learned of my passion for headhunting by accident at Cushman & Wakefield. I was originally hired to do light data entry and HR Generalist work, but found myself craving more of a challenge. Talent Acquisition was struggling to fill a few roles, so I raised my hand to step in. That is how I got my start in headhunting for the skilled trades, immediately carving out a niche. 

 

Throughout my tenure at Cushman & Wakefield, I oversaw headhunting efforts for Project Management & Construction, Occupancy Planning, Transaction Management, Portfolio Administration, Facilities Management, Property & Asset Management, Engineering Services (skilled trades for both union and non-union roles) Accounting, Finance, Marketing, Valuation & Advisory Services, and Brokerage. I staffed for some of Cushman & Wakefield’s largest blue-chip client accounts, including Citibank, Verizon, UBS, Google, Prudential, Aetna, and more. On average, I filled about 120-200 roles annually, with an average time to fill of under 45 days. 

 

From there, I was recruited away to Colliers, a professional services & commercial real estate firm, to start their Brokerage Sourcing & Engagement team as well as oversee key Executive Searches for the U.S. I partnered with our C-Suite and Regional Presidents to create and execute upon strategic sourcing plans for specialty practice groups such as retail, office, industrial, Capital Markets, and more. I also led a phenomenal team of Sourcers, who have all gone on to be award-winning recruiters themselves. From the ground up, I also started their Employee Resource Group Pillar for the Diversity & Inclusion program in North America - a program that has now scaled internationally within the firm with thousands of participants. 

 

After Colliers, I had a brief side step into FinTech, which gave me some awesome exposure to both financial services & technology headhunting. In November of 2022, the opportunity to partner with Arch Advisory Group presented itself, and I chose to make the jump to the “other side” of the business! 


Enter today. My passion for building sustainable programs, relationships, and the challenge and thrill of headhunting has allowed me to flourish within AAG. I can’t wait to partner with you! You can read testimonials from previous clients and candidates here.
