Having faced the consequences of a corporate acquisition for the second time, I redirected my career towards offering Human Resources consultation and administrative support to small and mid-size companies. In this capacity, I aim to contribute by bringing order to the chaos of everyday business and find satisfaction in overcoming business challenges with practical, timely, and cost-effective solutions. My passion for helping individuals realize their potential led me to become a certified HR professional with a strong emphasis on employee development and training.I have honed my skills in various HR areas, including conducting HR audits, developing corporate policies and employee handbooks, managing performance, facilitating new hire onboarding, leading employee training and development initiatives, and handling recruiting and hiring processes. With a background in professional services and hands-on experience in brick and mortar companies, I possess a versatile HR and administrative skill set, complemented by a proficiency in technology. Whether crafting a PowerPoint presentation or addressing a group, I am equally at ease.Beyond my professional pursuits, I indulge in a hedonistic exploration of unique and nostalgic vintage treasures during my free time. These curated finds are offered to like-minded collectors through my online shops on eBay and Etsy, showcased in my booth at a local antique shop, and made available at vintage markets in the Chicagoland area.
