What I'm looking for

I seek a people-first HR role where I can modernize HR systems, reduce turnover, build inclusive cultures, and partner with leadership on growth-focused talent strategies.

I am a results-driven Human Resources professional with experience modernizing HR infrastructure, reducing turnover, and improving employee engagement across the full talent lifecycle. I combine data-driven operations with clinical mediation training to investigate sensitive employee relations issues, design development plans, and establish clear, compliant HR policies.

I have led retention and leveling initiatives, migrated legacy systems to scalable HR platforms for 100+ employees, and managed high-volume recruiting teams delivering consistent hiring outcomes. I prioritize building inclusive cultures, streamlining processes, and partnering with leadership to align talent strategies with organizational growth.
