Boasting 20 years of diverse experience in Human Resources, I am a seasoned professional with expertise spanning healthcare, professional services, tourism, manufacturing, and distribution. My multifaceted background positions me as a versatile HR expert. 

In my role as an HR leader, I’ve successfully managed comprehensive HR, benefits, and payroll programs. I’ve spearheaded large-scale technical recruiting efforts, achieving impressive retention results, and expertly navigated complex benefit renewals. Additionally, I’ve led departments through the expansion of new business units while the company doubled in size. My expertise encompasses policy and process documentation, handbook development, compliance initiatives, and HRIS implementations.

I bring a modern approach to employee relations, and I’ve been recognized by for my ability to translate desired business outcomes into contemporary strategies. I emphasize creating workplace environments that foster respect, collaboration, and inclusivity, addressing struggling cultures with a proactive and empathetic approach while aggressively pursuing legal compliance and defending against that which poses an organizational risk.  

I specialize in consulting to support first-time HR program development and design custom performance and leadership strategies. My experience enables me to assist organizations through all phases of growth, from start-up to reorganization, with a keen focus on communication and the employee experience. My recent clients include a large Texas grocery chain and a veteran-centered non-profit.

My commitment to talent development is reflected in my role as a professional coach. I combine my passion for fostering individual growth with a comprehensive understanding of human behavior and organizational psychology. This unique blend enables me to design and implement programs that significantly enhance retention, performance, and inclusivity outcomes.

My professional background boasts working with some of the most well known national brands and extends far beyond the “typical” HR background. I have been on-the-ground with worker’s families after an industrial explosion, and I’ve even lived on campus with my workforce while I managed a dive bar and two labor unions in the Alaskan wilderness! 

I am a versatile expert and coach who combines passion, experience, and a modern mindset to drive positive change in diverse workplace environments.
