What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters collaboration, values employee development, and offers opportunities for strategic impact.

I am an accomplished HR advisor with extensive experience in managing employee relations, organizational change, and talent management. My career has been defined by my ability to resolve delicate workplace challenges through strategic communication and problem-solving. I have a proven track record of implementing innovative HR solutions that align people strategies with business objectives, ensuring that organizations thrive in a competitive landscape.

In my most recent role as Director of Organizational Strategy at Laivly Inc., I guided leaders on performance management strategies and implemented tailored Improvement Plans that enhanced employee accountability and productivity. My previous experience as Manager of People Operations allowed me to build and lead the HR function in a start-up environment, where I developed talent management initiatives that significantly improved engagement and retention. I am passionate about fostering a positive workplace culture and empowering employees to reach their full potential.
