What I'm looking for

I seek a strategic HR role focused on talent development, process modernization, and employee experience within a collaborative, service-oriented culture.

I am a certified HR professional (SHRM-CP) with deep experience across the full employee life cycle, including recruiting, onboarding, employee relations, compensation, and separations. My background in hospitality operations and a Certified Hospitality Trainer credential inform a service-oriented approach to people strategy.

I have led talent and culture initiatives, redesigned leadership development curricula, and modernized HR processes by deploying electronic systems such as DocuSign and cloud-based onboarding. Those efforts improved efficiency and enhanced the candidate and new-hire experience.

As a learning and development leader, I redesigned onboarding and compliance programs using tools like Articulate360, contributed to achieving service excellence (including a Forbes 4-star resort rating through staff development), and launched engagement surveys combined with actionable GPS (Growth, Planning, and Support) conversations.

I partner closely with leadership to coach on engagement action planning, compensation strategy, and talent acquisition pipelines, while also managing payroll, benefits administration, and HR operations to deliver measurable improvements in organizational performance.
