Email:
Human Resource professional and continuous learner with broad experience in all aspects of HR. During the last twenty years I have had many opportunities to discover, implement, and most importantly learn from countless projects and situations within the realm of HR. Specifically, I have a passion to drive positive employee engagement, organizational change, and develop our talent in the areas of employee relations, talent acquisition, employee development, and DEIB improvements. When I am not focused directly on HR I love to support all things education and help students with the next steps in life. Through Servant Leadership I believe in leading with grace and humility to see both my coworkers and company succeed.
