I am a human resources professional with 15 years of experience in change management, systems thinking and needs analysis, and creating a healthy, safe, and productive work environment through workforce psychology. I offer a history of consistent success in managing traditional HR tasks and the scope of my experience enables me to be a strategic partner in formulating strategies, organizational learning, and employee engagement. I am a senior certified professional through the Society of Human Resource Management (SHRM-SCP) and have also achieved the SHRM California Law HR Specialty credential. I hold a Master of Science degree in Industrial/Organizational Psychology, a Bachelor of Science degree in Human Resource Management, and am completing final coursework for an EdD in Educational Leadership. I also have an Advanced Leadership Certification through The National Society of Leadership and Success.What I enjoy most in my career is workforce development and management – specifically working with people in skill-building and success planning. I believe that having a meaningful career is key to gaining confidence and developing a healthy self-image. Engaged employees support an organization’s needs and carry these positive attitudes into other aspects of their lives. I found my voice thanks to a line of encouraging mentors that helped me build on my strengths and identify opportunities – I now enjoy paying that forward.My drive to positively impact others doesn't end in the business realm. From my background as a foster parent and Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA), I also have a passionate interest in advocacy. The experience I have with volunteer work not only has personal meaning to me, but it has strengthened the interpersonal skills I am looking to share. I am able to craft communication frameworks that resonate with a variety of audiences, develop solutions for overcoming obstacles, and lead project teams to success. I am fired up about making a positive impact and supporting our local community.
