I work with clients to design comprehensive strategic plans to address a wide range of human resources, communication, and culture challenges. Working across all industries, I leverage my experience as a human resources executive with the breadth of services available at IRI to move clients forward in the most contemporary ways possible.

I launched my leadership blog NoExcuseHR to discuss contemporary leadership issues primarily in the healthcare and human resources space.

Atlanta, Ga, Us

My role was to ensure our clients, healthcare and non-healthcare alike, received the human resources leadership consulting, and the talent and employer branding expertise they needed using the most contemporary strategies available. Kinetix is all about thinking big and pushing boundaries so their clients don't have to be stuck in the stone age. Basically, I had the best job in the company.
