What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters growth, values diversity, and allows me to empower others through education and strategic HR initiatives.

I am an experienced Human Resources manager, educator, and trainer with over 15 years of leadership in nonprofit, education, and service-oriented organizations. My proven track record includes building high-impact training programs, managing cross-functional teams, and enhancing community outreach. I am adept in HR operations, financial oversight, and curriculum development, and I am passionate about empowering diverse populations through education and strategic program implementation.

Currently, I manage day-to-day HR operations at Celtic Sea Salt, where I align HR strategies with company goals and promote a positive work environment. My previous roles have included overseeing financial operations, managing the full HR lifecycle, and directing daily school operations. I have successfully led initiatives that support diversity, equity, and inclusion, and I utilize HR metrics to drive improvements in retention, training, and workplace culture.
