My professional background

Abigail holds a First-Class BA (Hons) in Dance from London-based Stella Mann College. Her years of training instilled resilience, focus and commitment – qualities she now applies to her work in recruitment.

A natural people-person, Abigail was drawn to recruitment for its combination of relationship building and problem-solving. The opportunity to make a tangible impact – helping professionals take the next step in their careers while supporting firms in finding the right fit – resonated deeply with her.

Today, she partners with audit and tax professionals across Maryland, Virginia and DC , connecting them with CPA firms that align with their goals, values and long-term career ambitions.

Get to know Abigail

Abigail believes recruitment should feel like a conversation, not a transaction. She combines attention to detail with genuine connection, exploring each role beyond the job description – looking at culture, team dynamics and what success truly means within the firm.

She applies the same depth to candidates, uncovering motivations, career goals and preferences. Abigail is skilled at spotting opportunities candidates might not find on their own, often with firms that offer exceptional culture, growth and flexibility. By staying attuned to industry trends and candidate priorities, she provides clear, realistic guidance to both sides, making the process smoother and more rewarding for everyone involved.

Abigail is motivated by the impact her work has on people and businesses. She takes pride in helping professionals land roles that fit their ambitions and lifestyle, while ensuring firms hire candidates who will thrive in their culture.

Collaboration is central to her approach. While recruitment can be a solo pursuit, Abigail values sharing insights, learning from her team and supporting others as much as candidates and clients.

Away from the office, Abigail enjoys walking her yellow Lab, Lotta, and practicing Pilates. She loves traveling and discovering new food spots, whether locally or halfway around the world. Music is a constant in her life, providing motivation and a soundtrack for everything she does.
