What I'm looking for

Seeking a challenging role that leverages my expertise in HR and Training to drive business results and support long-term goals.

As a seasoned HR and Training professional, I have a proven track record of delivering above-benchmark results and driving significant updates to processes and roadmaps. With a strong focus on continuous development and optimization, I have supported long-term goals across a diverse range of regulatory industries, including aerospace and defense manufacturing and pharmaceutical manufacturing.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated expertise in strategic planning, quality management, technical training, learning and development, leadership and professional development, and human resources management. My ability to drive innovation and efficiency has earned me a reputation as a trusted leader and collaborator.

I am committed to staying up-to-date with industry best practices and regulatory requirements, holding certifications such as SHRM-SCP and DDI Facilitator Certification. I am also dedicated to giving back to my community, serving in various professional volunteer roles, including instructor, mentor, and facilitator positions.
