What I'm looking for

I’m looking for an HR leadership role with autonomy and full ownership—where I can partner with leaders on employee experience, employee relations, compliance, and workforce planning to drive engagement, retention, and risk mitigation in a fast-paced environment.

I’m a hands-on HR Manager and HR Business Partner with 10+ years of experience building and leading HR functions across high-growth, operational environments. I own end-to-end HR operations—employee relations, compliance, onboarding, performance management, and workforce planning—especially across multi-site teams.

I’m known for driving measurable outcomes: I reduced turnover by 18%, increased engagement by 12%, and improved onboarding efficiency by 25%. I lead employee relations and investigations with a strong focus on risk mitigation, documentation, and consistent policy enforcement.

In my current role as primary HR lead for a 400+ employee, multi-site workforce, I manage full lifecycle processes including onboarding, offboarding, investigations, and HR administration. Previously at Amazon, I supported a 2,000+ employee workforce, managing 50+ employee relations cases annually and improving engagement scores through structured, scalable initiatives.

I thrive in fast-paced, evolving environments where autonomy and full ownership matter. As a trusted advisor to leaders, I build HR infrastructure, policies, and processes that help teams scale—partnering with operations, payroll, and leadership to strengthen retention, performance, and workforce effectiveness.
