What I'm looking for

I seek a senior HR/operations role where I can scale people strategies, ensure compliance, develop leaders, improve efficiency, and drive measurable cost savings.

I am an HR and Operations leader with extensive experience designing and implementing scalable people and operational strategies across multi-site organizations. I spearhead talent acquisition, performance management, benefits and payroll, compliance, and training initiatives that improve retention, accountability, and business outcomes.

My achievements include leading HR oversight for hundreds of employees, passing multiple state and federal audits, delivering cost savings through strategic outsourcing and tax-credit capture, and building leadership development and cross-training programs. I lead with servant and transformational leadership to develop staff, streamline operations, and align HR with organizational goals.
