What I'm looking for

I seek a role where I can lead investigations, coach leaders, and implement policies within an inclusive culture that values fair processes and continuous improvement.

I am an Employee Relations professional with deep experience conducting workplace investigations, coaching leaders, and implementing policy to drive positive culture change. I combine a background in healthcare operations with employee relations expertise to deliver fair, compliant outcomes.

At CVS Health I handle investigations, coach managers, and guide progressive discipline to mitigate risk and improve working relationships. Previously, I led daily operations and HR functions at Atlantic Health System, implemented process improvements that reduced patient wait times, and built high-performing administrative teams through coaching.

My earlier roles include Employee Relations Specialist work at Saint Barnabas Medical Center—where I facilitated mediation, delivered training on diversity and conflict resolution, and supported performance management—and laboratory and clinical training that reinforce my attention to compliance and process accuracy.
