What I'm looking for

I'm looking to partner with executive and operational leaders on workforce strategy, employee relations, organizational effectiveness, compensation, and change in complex, regulated environments.

At KBR, I provide strategic HR partnership across four complex contracts supporting more than 1,200 employees. As the primary HR Business Partner for a 600-employee program, I advise program leadership and 45 people leaders on workforce strategy, employee relations, talent management, and organizational effectiveness.

I've led workplace investigations, performance initiatives, compensation reviews, restructurings, and contract transitions across aerospace, engineering, energy, and technology environments. Earlier at Schlumberger and Drillog, I delivered full-cycle HR support and reduced turnover by 22% through recognition, incentive, and bonus programs.
