What I'm looking for

I’m seeking a challenging Human Resources Leadership position where I can use creative problem solving and lean management skills to drive mutual growth and success—especially across compensation strategy, total rewards, and change through strong influence.

I lead a compensation team as a Compensation Manager, providing both operational and strategic direction while ensuring compensation analysis, administration, and processes meet departmental, federal, and Joint Commission standards. I specialize in the design and administration of executive compensation programs and in managing challenging, complex compensation-related projects, including variable pay program design and evaluation.

I’m known for immediately establishing credibility and influencing change through strong judgment, exceptional interpersonal skills, and clear communication. I collaborate with external third-party compensation consultants, manage salary surveys, model merit and bonus budgets, and review proposed salary adjustments such as market, merit, and promotional increases.

Across my HR background, I’ve advised on compensation practices, policy interpretation, and collective agreements, and I’ve supported grievance resolution and hearings related to job evaluations. I also bring Lean-based operational discipline and a service-oriented approach—planning, implementing, monitoring, and evaluating organizational objectives while working effectively in cross-functional environments and multi-union settings.
