About

I am an innovative, action focused, strategic senior people HR leader with exceptional expertise in employee relations, employment law and employment compliance with 20+ years expansive experience in HR management. Most recently, I have been the Director People Operations, and the most senior HR leader in a high growth, fast paced Nuclear Energy start-up. I built, led and and developed a team of HR partners to support all people operations functions. I am very comfortable pivoting to support changing business demands, and working in an ambiguous environment. I am confident that my expertise in devising and executing scaling innovative solutions will enhance employee experiences, and result in a strong partnership with leadership.

One of my biggest strengths is the breadth and scope of my HR experience working across an array of industries and organizational sizes. As a trusted and respected business partner, I can bring best HR practices to the company. I excel in strategically aligning employees with key organizational objectives and long-term goals. Whether it is developing and implementing new policies, leading thorough workplace investigations, increasing efficiencies through developing data analytics, or driving culture initiatives, I am committed to delivering high-impact results.
