Strategic-minded, experienced leader and trusted business partner in the Labor Relations and Employee Relations arenas. Relationship builder, problem solver, fence mender and efficiency seeker. As a manager, production employee, and eventual Union Representative very early in my career, I am able to offer unique perspective on building relationships with employees, with Union Representatives (when applicable), how to calibrate change management efforts and understand how associated communications are received by and impact employees, how to best tap into and get buy-in from employees when change is on the horizon, and probably most importantly - when to put pencils down and recognize when and/or how to cultivate and when necessary, fix relationships with others in order to get things done. Academically, I have formal education in HR & ER, specializing in Collective Bargaining and Labor Relations, as well as an MBA from top-tier schools.
