What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that values ethical practices and offers opportunities for professional growth.

I am a seasoned Human Resources Compliance subject matter expert with over 10 years of progressive experience in employee relations and investigations. My career has been centered on identifying risks and managing exposure through the successful resolution of external charges of harassment and discrimination. I have overseen complex internal investigations, promoting positive organizational ethics and compliance initiatives by leveraging my extensive knowledge of employment legislation.

In my current role as an Employee Relations Specialist at Walgreens, I provide support and guidance to personnel at all levels, ensuring effective solutions for workplace issues in accordance with company policies and applicable laws. I have a proven track record of diagnosing complex issues, directing internal investigations, and collaborating with key stakeholders to drive improvements and resolve problems efficiently.

Previously, I served as a Senior EEO Specialist at Tyson Foods, where I identified and mitigated risks from internal complaints and external charges across multiple production facilities. My ability to analyze large volumes of data and develop comprehensive investigation plans has been instrumental in achieving favorable resolutions. I am passionate about fostering a culture of compliance and ethics within organizations.
