As a dedicated and results-driven Director of People and Organization Development at HORNE, I've had the privilege of guiding team members through their entire career journey. My role encompasses a holistic approach, from talent acquisition to onboarding, learning, coaching, and organization development. My passion lies in helping organizations accelerate their workforce's growth and, in turn, achieve remarkable business results. Leveraging data and analytics, my team and I craft innovative solutions that not only build but also sustain cultures where top talent thrive. With over 25 years of experience in people development and coaching, I've honed my skills through diverse roles within large corporations. I'm not just a practitioner, but also a seasoned speaker and trainer, designing and delivering large-scale programs and systems focused on leadership, professional development, and talent systems.My academic journey includes a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration and a Master of Arts in Human Resources Development. I hold a Professional Certified Coach credential from the International Coach Federation, reflecting my commitment to excellence in coaching. When I am not working, I enjoy hanging out with my husband, doing home improvement projects, volunteering at my church, boating, sewing, and reading great historical fiction and crime novels.
