What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to leverage my HR expertise and leadership skills to drive transformative initiatives in a dynamic organization.

I am a Senior Manager in Deloitte’s Human Capital consulting practice, where I develop and deliver transformative HR solutions for government and public sector clients. My leadership has shaped new work and led proposal writing teams, resulting in over $350 million in new federal business. I have also spearheaded the Government and Public Sector Talent Acquisition Community of Practice, creating strategies and materials that enhance employer branding and recruitment efforts.

With 29 years of active service in the U.S. Navy as a helicopter pilot, I have a proven track record of building and leading high-performing teams in global human capital organizations. My experience includes overseeing a $165 million HR Transformation contract and executing a successful brand campaign for Navy Recruiting that generated over 300,000 prospects annually. I am passionate about teaching, coaching, and mentoring, and I strive to foster a culture of excellence and integrity in every team I lead.
