I am a purpose and mission-driven leader whose career was initially forged in the challenging environments of a healthcare startup and rapidly expanded through escalating roles in international market development, focusing on marketing, operations, and business development. This experience was greatly enriched by an MBA from BYU, emphasizing organizational behavior with a minor in strategy, and advanced through a comprehensive doctoral program in organizational leadership at Pepperdine University. My academic journey, which included intensive coursework in strategic leadership and management of global change, perfectly complements my hands-on business experience, allowing me to integrate practical theories with effective business practices.Throughout my career, I've developed a diverse skill set across multiple industries, from tech giants to healthcare innovators, always aiming to optimize human resources to foster workplace excellence. At Teladoc Health, as VP of Human Resources, I played a critical role in managing complex mergers and acquisitions at the parent company level. I was the principal HR partner for our BetterHelp Direct-to-Consumer Segment, where I built and led the HR and Talent Acquisition functions from the ground up, contributing to BetterHelp’s expansion more than 10x over four years, reflecting our collective efforts to deploy effective HR strategies and systems during a period of significant growth.My mission is to empower people and organizations by building trust, amplifying strengths, and aligning purpose to help them realize their full potential. I immerse myself in day-to-day operations—building effective teams, coaching managers, consulting and supporting executives, resolving employee issues, and refining processes. This hands-on approach has allowed me to deeply understand and navigate the nuances of organizational dynamics. I am committed to fostering workplace cultures prioritizing global collaboration, diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEIB), guided by data-driven insights and servant leadership. My career reflects a dual focus: achieving strategic business outcomes and creating an environment where every team member is valued and can thrive.I’m actively seeking roles that champion progressive HR initiatives and lead transformative change in forward-thinking organizations.Let's connect to discuss collaborative strategies for achieving operational excellence and impactful organizational change.
