I am an experienced and talented people leader, project manager, and certified Human
Resources Manager with a diversified skill set and a strong, demonstrated history of
leading, coaching, driving, and inspiring diverse teams to achieve exceptional results.
As a seasoned leader and business partner, my experience with people, process, and
policy runs deep. Throughout my career, I have created, planned, and led numerous
market-level projects, training programs, and workshops focused on shaping the future
of the individual, team, and organization. I have worked collaboratively with cross-
functional partners and professionals on all levels while championing organizational
core values and delivering outstanding results and premium experiences to my teams. I
pride myself on exceptional work and am always looking to optimize work processes
and streamline communication for clarity and impact.
In addition to a Bachelorโs Degree, I have earned a Human Resources Management
Certification from Cornell University, excelling in curriculum which consisted of courses
such as Aligning Employee Performance with Organizational Goals, Navigating Labor
Relations, Facilitating Staffing Decisions, Driving Employee Engagement, Employee
Training & Development, and more. I am also currently enrolled in a Project
Management certification program.
I am a true communicator who believes that meaningful conversations build
unbreakable relationships. Authentic, strategic, organized, structured, proactive,
collaborative, intuitive, engaging, empowering, committed, and invested are all words
that describe approach to leadership and problem solving. My Top 5 Strengths
according to StrengthsFinder, by Tom Rath, are: Strategic, Futuristic, Maximizer,
Relator, and Developer.
I am looking for a role supporting an organizationโs People and Culture Team. This could be an HR Generalist role as well.
