After twenty years of leading and developing people across the not-for-profit, hospitality and financial industries around the country, I am thrilled to be home in NW Connecticut and the second generational owner of AEI Staffing.  I love this work because we can see the impact every day of getting businesses the talent they need to be successful, getting our friends and neighbors fulfilling work that improves their lives, and how the two together can elevate our community.   

 

When not working with my amazing team, you can find me swimming, kayaking, hiking, or reading a book with my friends and family.
