I have used my strengths of empathy, connectedness, and adaptability throughout my career to build deep trusting relationships allowing me to become a "trusted advisor" at all levels of the organization.Working as a key member of the business team I have been able to demonstrate the value-add of strategic Human Resources. I have used my natural curiosity to build strong business acumen within each company and industry allowing me to be an effective brand ambassador and viewed as a key business partner. I combine this with a passion for people and the employee experience.Career development experts suggest your "career best" is where your passion, your strengths, and opportunity meet. I feel fortunate to have realized my passion early and developed my strengths to build a highly satisfying career at many great companies making great things happen.I have worked in many industries with companies of varying sizes. What has been consistent is being an advocate in leveling the playing field for all people, life long learner, and keeper of secrets big and small.I admire value-driven leaders, mission-driven companies that consider social responsibility "table stakes", and imperfect organizations that are committed to creating an inclusive, safe space. Why? Because they know only true innovation can happen in such an environment and deeply understanding their customers begins with diverse teams that represent the demographics of those customers.If you are looking to connect with a passionate people leader that loves partnering with the business, moving the needle on Diversity, Inclusion, Equity, and Belonging, and building amazing employee experiences please connect with me on LInkedIn.
