I guide leaders through complex employee relations, talent, and HR risk.
What I'm looking for
At Morgan Stanley Wealth Management, I advise Field leadership on people strategy, performance, talent, engagement, risk, and organizational effectiveness.
I guide complex employee relations matters, sensitive workforce transitions, retaliation and grievance concerns, leave and accommodation matters, and adverse background reviews. I partner with Legal, Compliance, Employee Relations, HCM Employee Services, and HR product teams to apply policy consistently.
I developed AI-enabled HR resources, including a Field Service Career Conversation Guide and Copilot prompt framework, to help Service Leadership deliver consistent promotion-readiness guidance. I also turn engagement feedback, manager input, and case trends into practical recommendations and leadership-ready decision materials.
Across Morgan Stanley, Wells Fargo, Dollar Tree, J & J Snack Foods, and SUPERVALU, I've led HR advisory, investigations, compliance, talent planning, and multi-site people support. I bring an MSHRM, MBA, PHR, and SHRM-CP to building fair, risk-conscious, and effective employee experiences.
