Message

At the State Bar of Arizona, I built and lead a standalone HR function, partnering with executive leaders on workforce planning and organizational effectiveness. I filled 15 critical roles in my first year and oversee performance management, total rewards, employee matters and HR operations.

At the American Bar Foundation, I transformed an ad hoc HR function into a structured, compliant operation and managed a team of two. I redesigned performance management, recruited specialized professionals and oversaw payroll and Dayforce HRIS administration.
