Brittany Smith Email & Phone Number

As a Senior Human Resource Consultant at Connecticut Children's, I leverage my MA in Human Resources Management and my passion for diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) to recruit and retain top talent for the organization. I have over four years of experience in HR and recruiting, working with various healthcare and nonprofit organizations, such as Daversa Partners and Devereux Advanced Behavioral Health. I have successfully managed talent acquisition and development strategies, driving a 15% increase in workforce diversity, including an 8.57% rise in African American representation within 10 months. I have also led all aspects of HR, from crafting recruitment plans and onboarding new hires to managing performance evaluations and fostering employee motivation. I have championed DEI by initiating and facilitating crucial conversations with leadership and staff, ultimately contributing to the establishment of a local DEI committee. I am adept at managing HR documentation, ensuring thorough pre-employment screening processes, and using various HR software and tools. I have a BA in City/Urban, Community and Regional Planning from the University of Connecticut, where I also received multiple honors and scholarships for my academic excellence and community involvement. I am fluent in English and Italian, and I enjoy learning about different cultures and perspectives. I am committed to advancing the mission, vision, and values of Connecticut Children's, and to creating a positive and inclusive work environment for all.
