What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values strategic HR initiatives and fosters employee engagement.

I am a dedicated Human Resources Leader with extensive experience in all aspects of HR. My ability to communicate effectively across all organizational levels and manage sensitive projects has been pivotal in establishing and leading HR departments. I take pride in my energetic and self-motivated approach, which has allowed me to build strong teams and foster a collaborative work environment.

Throughout my career, I have successfully directed HR strategies and policies across multiple locations in the United States. I established the first HR department for my current organization and developed strong partnerships with senior leaders to enhance HR's role in business strategy. My expertise in talent management, employee engagement, and organizational development has led to significant improvements in company culture and operational efficiency.

In addition to my strategic contributions, I have a proven track record in training and development, having facilitated leadership training and performance management programs. My commitment to continuous improvement and compliance has been recognized through various awards, including the YWCA Maritz Women of Distinction. I am passionate about fostering an inclusive workplace where employees feel valued and engaged.
