Our Team
After graduating from the London School of Economics, Dawn made significant strides in the UK recruitment industry by managing one of the most profitable Temporary Staffing Divisions in London.
Her journey then took her across the world to the U.S., where she worked as a Sales Executive for Adecco, one of the country’s leading employment agencies, based in Chicago, IL. Among Dawn’s many accolades was her national recognition as the Top Sales Executive for the country in 1999.
In 2006, Dawn leveraged her vast experience to establish City Personnel with a clear mission: to provide top talent to businesses in Rhode Island and Southern Massachusetts. With almost three decades of experience in the field, Dawn leads a team of professional recruiters who share her passion and commitment to staffing. This shared enthusiasm stems from a desire to build long-lasting and trusting relationships with both companies and job seekers.
When not spearheading recruitment efforts, Dawn enjoys traveling and spending quality time with her two children, Jess & Danny. She resides in Cranston with her husband Deven, and their adorable four-legged family member, Theo.

Before joining us at City Personnel in 2022, David spent two years specializing as a hospitality recruiter. His love for recruiting stems from his belief in the power of creating successful matches between candidates and companies that benefit all parties involved.
David is a loving father who enjoys an adventurous life outside work. From skateboarding and hiking to playing video games, David embraces a variety of hobbies that keep him active and engaged.
Britt, a proud Massachusetts native, earned her Communications degree with a Media specialization from Bridgewater State University. Following graduation, she embarked on a successful seven-year career in the banking sector across Massachusetts and Rhode Island, where she refined her client communication and relationship management skills. Seeking a new challenge, she ventured into the dynamic world of podcasting as a booking agent at a leading Podcast Booking Agency.
Britt’s natural talent for connecting business owners with the perfect podcast audiences flourished in this role, highlighting her exceptional communication and listening abilities. Her knack for understanding the unique needs of business owners seamlessly translates into her passion for recruiting, where she excels at matching the right talent with the most fitting opportunities.

With a Bachelor’s Degree in Communications from The University of New Hampshire under his belt, Danny chased his dreams of playing soccer abroad in England. His passion for soccer, nurtured through high school, college, and his time with the Major League Soccer Academy Team, the New England Revolution, has allowed him to travel, experience new cultures, and connect with people through sports.
While in the U.K., Danny delved into the property development industry, finding it both enjoyable and exciting. This new venture sparked another dream in him – to own his own real estate business someday. Danny’s experiences have shaped his drive to inspire others to reach beyond their perceived capabilities, a mission he carries out through his work at City Personnel.
Outside of work and soccer, Danny is a foodie who loves exploring different restaurants. He also enjoys spending time with his friends playing video games, and he’s committed to keeping fit and working out.
