What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead talent, retention, compensation, and workforce initiatives where I can strengthen performance systems, use workforce data to guide decisions, and develop effective talent teams.

At Recovery Network of Programs, I lead talent management, recruitment, retention, and workforce initiatives for approximately 375 employees across 20 programs and 14+ locations. I advise leaders on talent strategy, employee relations, performance management, investigations, corrective action, and employment decisions.

I built and lead an organization-wide HRIS performance management process covering annual reviews, goal setting, manager guidance, and system administration. I also use turnover, vacancy, recruitment, retention, and employee-feedback data to identify workforce risks and opportunities.

Across Southwest Community Health Center, Love146, Yale New Haven Health System, Hubbell, and Cornell Scott Hill Health Center, I’ve led full-cycle recruiting, compensation benchmarking, workforce planning, HR operations, onboarding, and employee relations. I’m currently pursuing a PhD in Organizational Development & Change Effectiveness.
