With 20+ years of HR expertise, a knack for creative problem-solving, and an eye for design, I’ve helped teams navigate change - like being a key contributor to a global Workday implementation - while bringing a people-first approach to every challenge.

People:  People give me energy & building real relationships is my superpower.  I’ll strike up a conversation with anyone, anytime, anywhere

Dogs, Dogs, Dogs: At the heart of everything I do - they are my constant inspiration
