Values-driven, collaborative and agile Human Resources leader with exemplary communication and relationship-building skills. Proven track record leveraging HR expertise within diverse employee populations in mid-size to large companies in stages of high-growth, mature, and economic downturn environments. Established experience in all functional areas of HR, with a focus on employee relations and communication, coaching and counseling, change management, and workforce planning.I am a classically trained HR professional, having recognized early on that HR is a practice, one that I would need to learn, grow, and evolve in. A lifelong learner, I’ve actively engaged with the HR community to stay abreast of best practices and emerging trends, dedicating myself to continuous development opportunities. My passion was kindled early, having found my calling in talent acquisition, the cornerstone of human resources.My first foray into HR was in the front-line role of Employee Relations, where I honed my skills by working directly with employees and managers, navigating both positive and challenging situations. I was then afforded the opportunity to become more well-rounded as an HR Generalist, which eventually led to a leadership role where I built and led an HR team for a dynamic company in a challenging industry with a diverse workforce.My objective now is to leverage my extensive knowledge and experience to contribute to an organization whose goals and mission align with my own. I aim to create real value for leadership, clients, and employees alike driving strategic HR initiatives that foster growth, engagement, and operational excellence.
