People Operations leader with a passion for talent strategy.
What I'm looking for
I am an operator who leads People strategy with both heart and precision. Over the past 10+ years, I’ve built HR systems from scratch, coached leaders through growth and change, and developed the structures needed to support high-performing, values-driven cultures. Whether advising C-suite execs or rolling up my sleeves on people ops execution, I bring clarity, pace, and a deep understanding of how to scale teams the right way.
In my recent role as a People Ops Consultant at Magical Teams, I partnered with agency leadership to establish operational frameworks across HR, recruiting, and compliance. I streamlined onboarding and communication systems to support distributed teams while leading talent operations strategy for high-growth clients. My previous experience as Director of People Operations & Strategy at FTC Kids Empowerment Center involved designing org structures that support business growth and advising senior leadership on aligning workforce planning with company goals.
As Chief of Staff & Head of Talent & Culture at Creatd, Inc., I led the transformation of HR operations, implementing infrastructure to support a rapidly scaling business. I designed and implemented talent strategies, built a high-impact HR team, and served as a strategic advisor to C-suite executives. My focus on performance management and leadership development has been instrumental in building high-performance cultures that drive engagement and execution excellence.
