“Relationships are the currency of business.” ― Brian Basilico I'm a creative & ambitious tech/digital recruiter, social media enthusiast and sales professional with a proven work ethic/track record of implementing successful recruiting strategies, managing social media campaigns and I take pretty great photos with my trusty Canon DSLR. Always on top of the latest developments in NYC's burgeoning start-up/tech community, social media's key players, employment market trends, the latest & greatest new apps and what new (and old) online communities are doing to remain relevant & compete with today's rapidly-changing audience engagement channels. By partnering with hiring managers I work hard to create high-performing teams, dynamic office cultures that make people LOVE going to work, promote innovation & bring people together to create awesome things! On the side I do consultancy work for bands/singer-songwriters by booking shows, creating label pitches & press kits, assisting with social media efforts, taking press photos and spreading the word through grassroots means. I also do some photo work for CMJ (http://www.cmj.com/marathon/) during their annual film & music festival (for the past 9 years and counting!). I have participated in many street team initiatives for Universal Motown, Domino & Island Records for artists such as The Killers, Kaiser Chiefs, The Cribs, Kate Nash, Franz Ferdinand, The Bravery and more. My specialties include: Recruiting, Offer Negotiation, Social Media (ie. Facebook, Twitter, Google+, Flickr, Tumblr, Wordpress, Instagram, foursquare, Yelp, Pinterest, etc.), make-up artistry, biz dev, PR, digital & grassroots marketing, graphic design, photography, ad strategy (creation & execution), sourcing, interviewing/tech-screening, cultivating & educating candidates/hiring managers, making sure all EEOC employment laws are enforced, drinking coffee, being awesome and knowing all of the words to Disney's "The Little Mermaid" :).
