What I'm looking for

I seek a strategic HR leadership role where I can drive compliance, safety, talent development, and culture change while partnering with executives to support scalable growth.

I am a results-driven Director of Human Resources with extensive experience leading HR operations, compliance, and workforce safety across the U.S. and Canada. I partner with executive leadership to align HR programs with organizational goals and drive cultural transformation.

In my current role I oversee HR strategy and safety programs across 43 states for a workforce exceeding 2,800 employees and lead a 14-person HR team responsible for recruiting, training, employee relations, benefits, and safety.

My achievements include reducing turnover by 12% through leadership coaching and recognition programs, enhancing safety compliance with updated OSHA training, and implementing succession planning and development pathways to improve internal mobility.

I hold a Bachelor of Liberal Arts from San Diego State University and a PHR certification (2023), and I bring a pragmatic, compliance-focused approach to building high-performance HR programs that support growth and employee engagement.
