I build organizations where people perform at their best — and stay. With an Executive MBA in Human Resources and a background that spans clinical practice, operations leadership, healthcare start-up growth, and strategic HR partnership at a major national corporation, I bring a perspective that’s genuinely uncommon: I’ve led from the frontline and from the senior leadership table, in unionized and non-unionized environments, through rapid growth and significant constraint. What that means practically: • I understand what it feels like to be the person doing the hardest work — and I build development programs, wellness strategies, and cultures with that empathy at the centre • I’ve managed teams of 130+, budgets over $7M, and transformations affecting thousands of employees • I bring operational and financial literacy that most HR leaders don’t have — I’ve run P&Ls, reduced costs by 30%, and managed supply chains alongside people strategy • I’m PROSCI certified, data-fluent, and comfortable using AI-supported tools to make better people decisions faster • I’ve led complex labour relations across four unions with no grievance losses — building trust with both management and frontline staff My sweet spot is organizations navigating complexity — growth, transformation, cultural change, or the challenge of keeping great people engaged through all of it. I’ve done this in healthcare, technology, and start-up environments, and the principles translate everywhere.
