What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead people operations, HR transformation, and change initiatives where I can partner with leaders, improve processes, and deliver practical workforce and operational outcomes.

I lead people operations and HR transformation work through StrategiAdvance Consulting, translating business needs into practical workplans, policies, stakeholder communications, and implementation actions.

At The Life Center for Psychotherapy & Counselling, I led multi-workstream people and operations programs across workforce planning, employee experience, performance processes, service delivery, and organizational improvement. I built schedules, governance meetings, training plans, communications, and risk tracking to move concurrent workstreams forward.

My background includes HR leadership for Ibdaa Bank’s multi-branch growth, Workday pre-employment and onboarding workflows at RBC, and full-cycle recruitment. I bring more than 20 years of experience partnering with leaders through growth, change, and operational improvement.
