About

I'm an HR and operations leader with hands-on experience in recruiting, employee engagement, workforce planning, payroll, and compliance including international HR exposure. Currently an Operations Manager at Fleet Farm overseeing 80+ associates, I've built my career at the intersection of people strategy and operational execution, which gives me a rare ability to connect talent initiatives directly to business outcomes. I'm passionate about building high-performing cultures and developing leaders at scale, and I'm always open to connecting with leaders in HR, talent development, and people operations. Let's connect!
