"Assume that people are inherently good." This is a paraphrasing from wisdom Laszlo Bock, Senior Vice President of People Operations at Google, Inc., shared at the inaugural Google re:Work conference in 2014. I had the pleasure of attending that amazing conference and I do not believe those words could ring any more true for the direction work is inherently heading towards.I received my BSBA with a major in Human Resources in 2009 and PHR certification in 2014 to attempt understanding the black and the white so I could comprehend and speak intelligently to where it benefits to be in the gray. I utilize this knowledge to identify unique and strategic ways to align core values or competencies of a business to talent acquisition, engagement, motivation, retention, culture, and performance.I am a self-confessed mama’s boy that values diversity in the workplace and the value a diverse workforce can bring to efficiency and innovation and a full believer in my self-diagnosis of hangry-ness. Obviously, I kid with the self-diagnosis but I am a foodie, love all things sports (especially golf and football), can be a gamer if time allows, and love continuing relationships with those I am close with and building relationships with those that are new to my life.I have dabbled in many things HR including, but not limited to; HR Business Partnerships, Employee Relations, Full Life-cycle Recruiting, Employee Engagement, Leave of Absences, Training, Performance, Process Improvements, Developing HR Metrics and Reporting, HR Administration, and have worked in many different HRIS systems.

Listed skills include Recruiting, Employee Relations, Training, Interviews, and 17 others.
