Our mission is to provide world class Human Resources support to both profit and non profit organizations. Proper HR practices will help achieve organizational results. Our philosophy is to provide straightforward HR solutions to complex business issues. At In HIS Name HR, we pride ourselves with always being compassionate with people yet assuring accountability in achieving business results. Headquartered in Lancaster County PA, we love to serve those organizations in rural areas who do not have the resources large metro areas have.

Teaching is a terrific way to marry my enthusiasm, experience, and skills in the field of human resources with students eager to gain a boost over future competition, along with the opportunity to become more adroit at navigating a professional environment. I equip them to more easily achieve real-life career success in proven ways. I teach topics such as how to target careers ideally suited to one’s personality, define one’s unique voice, and effectively translate education to a meaningful career. Perhaps most important is how I harness the experiences I have gained at high-performance organizations over my own career to coach students, individually and in teams, to set up practical, actionable steps through each stage of college in preparation for their next critical life phase. They leave my class feeling more confident of their progress because I teach them how to chart their journey.
