What I'm looking for

I am seeking an HR leadership opportunity where I can use my experience in employee relations, compliance, leadership coaching, and HR operations to support employees, strengthen culture, and drive business results. I thrive in collaborative organizations focused on growth and continuous improvement.

Human Resources leader with 26+ years of experience supporting manufacturing and distribution organizations across multi-site environments. Throughout my career, I have partnered with executive leadership to strengthen employee relations, improve retention, enhance compliance, and develop practical HR solutions that support business goals. My experience spans employee relations, leadership coaching, workforce planning, performance management, organizational development, workers' compensation, and multi-state employment compliance.

I am passionate about helping organizations build strong workplace cultures, develop effective leaders, and create processes that improve both the employee experience and operational performance. I enjoy using data to identify trends, solve complex workforce challenges, and drive meaningful business results. I am currently exploring opportunities where I can leverage my extensive HR leadership experience while continuing to grow in areas such as HR technology, operational excellence, and the strategic use of AI in Human Resources.
