About

Organizational strategist and public-sector executive with nearly two decades of experience strengthening workforce systems, leadership alignment, and institutional capacity within complex public and private sector environments. My work centers on aligning people, structure, and governance to enhance service delivery, organizational performance, and public trust. As Director of Organizational Development, I lead enterprise initiatives that support executive leadership in advancing workforce strategy, organizational alignment, and long-term sustainability across all departments. I partner with City leadership to integrate talent management, succession planning, organizational design, and leadership development into scalable frameworks that strengthen institutional effectiveness and operational clarity. My background includes executive HR leadership, enterprise organizational modernization, and a decade of service in the United States Air Force as a Personnel Manager supporting multi-installation workforce operations and mission-aligned human capital strategy. Holding a Doctor of Business Administration, MBA, SPHR, and SHRM-SCP, I bridge governance, strategy, and execution to deliver ethical, data-informed leadership in public service environments. I remain committed to strengthening leadership capacity, organizational culture, and institutional resilience through collaborative, mission-focused governance.
