At American Red Cross, I lead enterprise workforce compliance and training initiatives, translating legal and policy requirements into employee education and practical implementation plans. I analyze participation and workforce trends to develop dashboards that help identify compliance risks.

As Director of People Operations at Fair Trade USA / Transfair, LLC, I led a three-person HR team and advised executives across multiple functions. I led the UKG Ready implementation, reducing administrative workload by 40%, and compensation restructuring associated with a 15% increase in retention.

Earlier at American Red Cross, I advised operational and executive leaders on employee and labor relations, workplace investigations, and performance management. I used workforce data and employee feedback to identify recurring issues and recommend improvements.
