“I do nothing alone. My whole life is a collaboration.” - Tricia Hersey.I am a dedicated HR professional and positive change practitioner with a strong foundation in strategic HR management and organizational development. I hold a Master’s degree in Positive Organization Development and Human Relations from Champlain College and a Bachelor’s in Psychology from Saint Michael’s College, where I first explored human resources and positive psychology.As a Human Resources Generalist for the City of Burlington, I have helped streamline HR operations for a 700-employee organization, enhancing service delivery across crucial HR functions like recruitment, benefits administration, and HRIS/database management. I’m particularly proud of my leadership in managing a $100,000 employee wellness program, which significantly boosted participation and earned the City new wellness accolades.My previous experience as a Human Resources Administrative Coordinator involved handling complex administrative tasks, including managing confidential information and personnel administration. Before transitioning to HR, I spent five years in guest services management at McDonald’s, leading a team to improve customer satisfaction and earning recognition from McDonald’s CEO and the state.I am passionate about fostering positive organizational change through empathy, strategic communication, and a commitment to excellence. Outside of work, I volunteer with POWERED Magazine and Spectrum Youth and Family Services and am currently training to become a certified Empowerment Self-Defense instructor with The Safety Team. #HRLeadership #EmployeeWellness #Diversity #Equity #InclusionContact: ajessie545@gmail.com
