About me

I’m a lifetime learner with a growth mindset. Law firms were my introduction to the professional services industry where I developed skills in operations and human resources management. Since then, I’ve advanced the functions of organizations in healthcare, economics, finance, and accounting.

Experienced in global, high performing, matrix organizations.

Skilled in coaching, talent development, strategic planning, performance management, employee relations, training, and communication.

Strong analytical and organizational skills, with a thorough knowledge of employment laws and regulations.

Proven track record in developing effective human resources policies aligning with business initiatives and objectives while enhancing employee engagement.

Achievements include launching a new performance management system, reducing reviews time by 50%, delivering an updated payroll system, reducing processing time by 40%, and a new ATS reducing processing time by 25%. Secured $5M in savings for the claims operations budget by auditing employee positions nationwide.
