I’m a dedicated, results-driven HR leader with a strong record in advancing engagement, compliance, and optimization across complex organizational settings. My expertise spans recruitment, employee relations, payroll, compensation, and benefits management, which I leverage to boost efficiency and cultivate inclusive, high-performance cultures. Both as a youth colorguard coach and HR professional, I have spent years managing and working with people. As Human Resources Manager at KBK Enterprises, I oversee all critical HR functions, and I’m a trusted advisor to leadership. I leverage knowledge in compliance, compensation, benefits, and workforce planning to work towards building a positive, resilient workplace culture that supports both employees and business goals.At Hexion Inc., I played a pivotal role in administering and communicating health and welfare benefits programs for nearly 1,000 employees across the U.S. and Canada, ensuring regulatory compliance and establishing key vendor partnerships that elevated service quality. My leadership in open enrollments resulted in record participation, improved accuracy, and heightened employee satisfaction because of precision and trust. I also conceived and led the development of the PRIDE Business Resource Group, co-piloting its launch and initial years to achieve record membership. This group became a cornerstone of our inclusive culture, building a supportive community for LGBTQ+ employees and allies and promoting a workplace where diversity was celebrated.With a commitment to continuous improvement, I’ve implemented numerous cost-effective measures, including a project that led to a 75% decrease in leave of absence utilization through process overhauls. My leadership style—rooted in integrity, empathy, clear communication, and strategic vision—aligns employee needs with business priorities, creating substantial contributions to organizational success.
