Advocating people-first policies and practices for a more engaged workforce. My professional journey has been one of steady and gradual advancements towards my goal of becoming a well-rounded and multi-disciplinary HR-professional. Born into a longstanding family-run flower shop & garden center, I was taught early on about the rewards yielded from dedication and patience. I’ve found that people, like flowers, will blossom in the right setting and with the right nutrients. As HR professionals, it is integral to our role that we advocate and push for professional environments and resources that allow our people to flourish. Leveraging 6+ years of progressive HR-experience in my recommendations for better people operation practices. Predominant focus in leading a team to successfully manage high-volume employee relations issues, from common workplace complaints to investigations and everything in-between. Additional expertise in leave of absence management, policy writing, executive consultation, and benefits administrations. Current Human Resources Business Partner at The Scion Group, establishing strategic partnerships for streamlined people processes across our expanding portfolio of nation-wide student housing properties & corporate office.
