What I'm looking for

I'm interested in building strategic, human, and accountable HR programs that invest in people, strengthen operations, and support workforce development.

At the City of Weatherford, I lead human resources, organizational policy, and risk management for 400+ employees while partnering with 12 divisional directors to advance citywide goals.

I've transformed employee programs by moving the city to self-funded health benefits, launching mental health counseling, Will Workshops, onsite health screenings, mobile dental care, and financial education. I also strengthened engagement through new-hire communications, leadership development, performance-review support, progression plans, and digital onboarding videos.

As the city's ADA Compliance Officer, I manage risk across city assets, insurance for 450+ fleet vehicles, and citizen claims and lawsuits. I recently led a 66-vehicle hail damage repair project that finished $15,000 under budget, and I bring 24 years of HR leadership backed by PHR, SHRM-CP, and CEBS credentials.
