What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead people and business operations in a fast-paced, multi-location organization where I can build strong teams, improve employee experience, guide organizational change, and partner closely with leadership on growth.

At Misha's Cupcakes, I've built and led People Operations for an 85-person workforce across retail, wholesale, production, e-commerce, and vending. I partner directly with the founder and leadership team on organizational strategy, staffing, team structure, performance, and long-term workforce needs.

I've recruited and onboarded 200+ employees, conducted 400+ interviews, and created repeatable hiring processes supporting 10 retail locations. I also coach managers through employee relations, staffing, and operational change while improving systems, payroll, scheduling, and employee experience.
