Maria Vianello

Secretary

I'm a software engineer at Root Insurance. In my former life, I was a middle school math teacher for seven years. After taking a workshop about teaching mathematics using simplified code, I found myself making a career change into software development. Because I still long for the spotlight from the fame, notoriety, and respect given to teachers in the classroom, I present the CRB Method of the Month each month.

I lead and oversees a team of Recruiters who Source and Recruit top notch candidates; while ensuring a positive candidate experience.
