About

With over a decade of experience across the insurance and financial services industries, I specialize in sales recruiting, talent acquisition strategy, and building strong partnerships with business leaders to support organizational growth. My background includes recruiting and talent acquisition leadership across Commercial Lines, Personal Lines, Employee Benefits, and revenue-generating sales roles within the insurance brokerage space. Throughout my career, I have supported hiring initiatives across multiple regions, partnering closely with leadership teams to identify top talent and align recruiting strategies with business objectives. In my current role, I continue to actively recruit middle market Property & Casualty professionals while also supporting broader talent acquisition initiatives across the Mid-Atlantic region. My experience includes full-cycle recruiting, direct sourcing, pipeline development, and relationship-driven recruiting strategies focused on attracting high-quality talent in competitive markets. In addition to recruiting, my background includes experience in business strategy, sales enablement, analytics, and process improvement, giving me a well-rounded perspective on how talent acquisition supports broader business success. Always open to connecting with professionals across the insurance, recruiting, and sales leadership space.
