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.
Megan is a proud alumna of Bryant University, where she graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Accounting and dual minors in Human Resources and Spanish.
While at Bryant, Megan had the enriching experience of spending a semester traveling across Europe. This journey ignited her love for meeting new people and helping others. This newfound passion led her to make a pivotal career decision after graduation. Instead of pursuing accounting, she chose a path in Human Resources, as it provided her with the opportunity to make a tangible difference in people’s lives.
In 2020, Megan joined our team and a Recruitment Specialist. Recruitment offered Megan the perfect platform to advocate for others, utilizing her education to foster meaningful relationships with both candidates and clients.
When she’s not busy making a difference in people’s professional lives, Megan loves to travel, read, and enjoy the great outdoors. She cherishes time spent with her family and never misses an opportunity to explore new local restaurants.

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.

Gabby is a South Providence native who transplanted to North Carolina, before graduating with dual Bachelor’s degrees in Sociology and Africana Studies from URI.
From an early age, Gabby has always leaned on her curiosity, analytical, and creative nature. She realized she loved tackling a diverse range of problems, identifying areas for improvement, and working to implement solutions.
As a 2020 New Leaders Council Fellow, Gabby culminated her fellowship training to be a changemaker in her community, which led her to nonprofit work, legal advocacy, tech startups, and now City Personnel.
Gabby began as a Recruitment Coordinator at City Personnel before transitioning to a Strategy and Talent Associate. Her goal is to use her unique lens to support projects and strategy at City Personnel while championing the candidate experience.
Away from her computer screen, you’ll find her penning poems, on the bike at SoulCycle, binging true crime, reading Thich Nhat Hanh, and being near the ocean.
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.
