What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that values strategic thinking and fosters a collaborative culture, where I can leverage my HR expertise to drive organizational success.

I am a creative and conscientious self-starter with extensive experience in human resources and project management. Currently serving as the Deputy Director of Human Resources for Northampton County, I have honed my skills in leadership, strategic initiatives, and employee relations. My background includes a diverse range of roles, from managing digital media projects to overseeing programs at DeSales University, where I also taught as an online instructor.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated a strong ability to communicate effectively and cohesively, which has been vital in my roles involving union negotiations and fiscal affairs. I pride myself on being detail-oriented and highly organized, always striving to foster a positive work environment that encourages collaboration and inclusivity. My educational background, including a Doctor of Health Sciences and an MBA, complements my professional experience, equipping me with the knowledge to drive organizational development and implement progressive policies.
