I am an HR leader - and a trusted, approachable advisor and business partner with a genuine desire to make a difference in a diverse workplace - by creating a positive culture and connecting leaders, hourly and union associates to the company vision and brand.I have been selected three times out of 100+ Managers for the company’s Passion Award because I believe in creating an inclusive fun workplace where associates are productive and collaborative and where they can grow in their careers while building brand loyalty with our customers. Using my theatrical background, I am known for my creative ways of engaging participants in corporate branding initiatives and training. I do this by incorporating video productions, digital communication, employee recognition and community service. I learned early on as a telephone salesperson, how to put people at ease – and how to have difficult conversations, which has aided me in my human resources career. I love to teach – and I like to learn as well. The more you learn, the more you grow and are able to adapt to the changing workplace. We all must learn to diversify our knowledge, while finding ways to incorporate the basics with digital innovations in a world where leaders and team members must work together towards company success.My areas of expertise include:Collaboration with leadershipTeam eventsTailoring training initiatives to the audiencePublic Speaking Mentoring new Managers & InternsComputer skills - Publisher, Powerpoint, Excel, Web based programs
