What I'm looking for

I seek a strategic HR role where I can drive talent planning, compliance, and people analytics to improve performance and culture.

I am a proactive Human Resources Business Partner with deep experience in performance management, benefits administration, employee relations, and compliance. I have led HR operations across multiple sites and large employee populations, implemented performance coaching models, and championed diversity and inclusion and employee resource groups.

My background includes directing analytics teams to improve insights and participation, developing HR policies and training that raised compliance and engagement, and delivering measurable results such as reducing healthcare costs and improving data accuracy and operational efficiency. I bring a balance of strategic partnership and hands-on HR execution to support organizational goals.
