What I'm looking for

I seek a role where I can leverage my HR expertise to build inclusive cultures and drive strategic growth.

As a transformational People & Talent leader with over 10 years of experience, I specialize in scaling high-performance workforce operations and building foundational HR infrastructures for venture-backed healthcare startups. My role as a trusted advisor to founders and executive leadership teams has allowed me to design values-driven, scalable cultures that support Series A–C raises and national expansions.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated a proven track record in driving clinician-centered HR strategies, reducing attrition, and aligning people operations with business goals. I am renowned for architecting HR systems, leading high-stakes initiatives, and presenting strategy to boards and investors. My strategic thinking, combined with data fluency and equity-minded leadership, enables me to deliver measurable results that foster organizational growth.
