With 15+ years of experience in Human Resources and People Operations, I've partnered with leaders across manufacturing, distribution, healthcare, telecommunications, retail, and professional services to solve business challenges through practical, people-focused HR strategies. Throughout my career, I've built HR functions from the ground up, led HRIS implementations, improved recruiting processes, strengthened employee relations, and supported organizations through periods of growth and change.
