Senior human resources professional. Expertise in employee relations, performance management, organizational development, recruiting, training, & writing, especially in publishing & trade show industries. Creative personality and down-to-earth interpersonal communication skills. Worked closely with legal counsel, executive management & employees in companies from 50 to 60,000 employees--spanning a diverse range of industries. Knowledge of the law, writing and verbal communication skills, negotiating ability combined with education, intuition, positive attitude, common sense and successful results with governmental agencies equipped me to save companies millions in liability and added immeasurable profit through proactive, strategic staffing, coaching, and training.Experience includes publishing, trade shows, fashion, entertainment, technology, telecom, powersports, restaurant, non-profits & healthcare. I support the health & vitality of organizations and facilitate their growth with a high level of integrity. In every position, I provided something I believe added to peoples' lives and the community, while also increasing profit and decreasing liability.I voluntarily retired from the corporate world, devoting time to ministry work, especially with people in recovery and young people. I am proud to be an active member of Saddleback Church, led by Pastor Rick Warren, author of "Purpose Driven Life". I also spent some long-desired quality time with my family.(I also am forever grateful to spiritual mentors Pastor Mike Webb of FFC and Dr. Gary Mayes of CRM who influenced and shepherded me for many many years.)Open to working for money again, if it's the right thing.Raised in Los Angeles, I hope to be known someday as someone who brought some light to dark places.
