A little bit about my background:

With a foundation in Anthropology and Sociology, my academic journey underscored a passion for understanding and engaging with people. This foundation crystallized into a career path focused on fostering human connections and cultivating supportive environments within the corporate landscape. Recognizing my natural inclination for seamless communication and deep empathy, I began my career in Human Resources/People Operations.

My expertise lies in pioneering HR functions for early to mid-stage startups and navigating the complexities of employment law with seasoned proficiency. Over the years, I've honed my skills as a pivotal HR resource, serving as the sole HR representative, integral team member within a dynamic people operations group, and as a Fractional Head of People. I specialize in architecting HR departments from inception, collaborating closely with senior leadership to devise and implement robust HR strategies, policies, and procedures.

As a trusted advisor in HR matters, I am dedicated to ensuring that organizational practices align seamlessly with values, regulatory mandates, and industry best practices. By fostering meaningful relationships with companies and departments, I facilitate the cultivation of inclusive, compliant, and thriving workplace cultures.

My commitment to championing the human element within organizational frameworks is at the core of my mission as an HR leader.

Where I am Today:

I work with companies to identify and implement their HR goals and align and deploy accompanying HR strategies and processes. I provide a trusted HR partnership and leadership to early to mid-stage startups and companies of varying sizes to meet all HR goals and initiatives.

In my free time, I am a long-distance runner and love to bird-watch.
