Sr. Director, CORE Operations

What do you do at Headway?

I oversee most of the recruitment that falls under the research division of our organization. I work with account managers and recruiters to provide qualified individuals for various positions and clients whether they be in the field, remote or in schools and other establishments.

What do you like most about working at Headway?

My answer to this question will forever be the people. Over the last 10 years, I’ve met a lot of great people here at Headway that love what they do, love the company they work for and the people they work with and I think that says a lot about who you work for. Everyone at Headway genuinely cares for our clients and candidates and an added bonus? They’re always down for a good laugh!

What do you like to do for fun outside of work?

I have a large family, and spending time with them is one of my favorite things to do! Otherwise, I’m in a book club with friends and family. I also love walking with my dog, Stella.

If you could have one superpower, what would it be and why?

Teleportation for sure. I’m always late and I’m hoping if I had the power to snap a finger, wiggle my nose or click my heels together, I could be everywhere on time! 😊
