Starting as a research Microbiologist, I trained to become an Industrial Hygienist. From Industrial Hygienist, I morphed into a Safety Director for a utility company. Given my personal motto of, "When you come to a fork in the road, take it", I moved into various Human Resources leadership positions, accumulating practical experience and extensive formal and informal training, Now, after over two decades working in Human Resources for two Fortune 500 companies, I use my professional HR depth and breadth to develop the infrastructure in a growing company. I draw on my Strengths Finders signature strengths of Achiever, Ideation, Input, Relator and Strategic to lead my team in streamlining our processes and having fun while doing so. Which goes along with my second personal motto, "If it isn't fun, you are either doing the wrong thing or doing the right thing in the wrong way."Human resources leader with a passion for streamlining human resource processes, technology and infrastructure, providing business leaders with more quality time to focus on setting strategy and achieving business results through their people.
