What I'm looking for

I seek a role in a dynamic organization that values diversity and fosters growth.

I am a seasoned Human Resources professional with comprehensive leadership experience across public, military, and corporate sectors. My expertise lies in providing strategic consultation to senior management in recruitment, training, and performance management. I am recognized for my ethical decision-making and integrity, and I am deeply committed to the principles of diversity, equity, inclusion, and social justice.

Throughout my career, I have successfully implemented numerous initiatives that have significantly improved organizational efficiency and employee engagement. For instance, at Seattle Children’s Hospital, I developed a standardized case management framework that led to an 80% reduction in unnecessary escalations and a 60% improvement in case resolution efficiency. My ability to navigate complex organizational structures and diverse stakeholder needs has consistently delivered results, making me a skilled communicator and a valuable asset to any team.

I am passionate about fostering inclusive work environments and have led initiatives that increased diverse applications by 65% and underrepresented hires by 30% within a year. I am eager to bring my strategic planning and consultation skills to a forward-thinking organization that values diversity and aims for continuous improvement.
