My passion is building better workplaces.I am a trailblazer for organizational change focusing on empowering employees to reach their maximum potential, aligning professional growth with organizational goals. I work to build genuine, transparent, relationships with all levels of employees so that I can be effective in delivering organizational initiatives and improving the workplace culture through cross-functional departmental cooperation. My industry range includes healthcare, transportation, staffing, nonprofit organization management, pharmaceuticals, industrial automation, manufacturing, and entertainment. Working as a senior human resource leader, I have learned to recognize what sets apart successful organizations from the rest. As a consultant I look forward to the opportunity to share my expertise to benefit your organizational or professional goals. "After all, if the vision is simply the same-old status quo, then what is the purpose of that leader anyway? Leaders are not content with things as they are today; they focus on how things should be better in the future." -The Leadership Challenge, James M. Kouzes & Barry Z.
