As an HR/People Operations Executive, I have partnered with senior business unit leaders to guide organizations through both planned and organic growth cycles. I enjoy building strong teams, adopting cutting-edge (yet proven) technologies to cover HR organization-wide, and driving business success with unwavering commitment to leveraging the power of collaboration and consensus-building. Ultimately mentoring individuals to reach peak performance to in turn build a better business.

My first nonprofit was because of my dance education, eventually my time with Free Arts of Arizona allowed me to tap into my analytical brain to expand the organization. It would be my honor to connect, have a conversation, and explore new ways to incorporate structured policies, recruitment, DEI mindset, genuine employee care, compliance, risk aversion, performance measurement, HR Tech, and high-level policy installations to fine-tune people operations. ~ Brenda E.
