About

As a passionate and results-driven People leader, I’m committed to empowering individuals and organizations to do their best work. With a strong foundation in leadership development, performance enablement, organizational design, and full-cycle employee experience, I bring a strategic lens to every aspect of the People function. I specialize in scaling HR from the ground up — whether that means implementing processes, navigating change, or building a culture that fuels performance and engagement 🚀 I enjoy working with teams in fast-paced, dynamic environments to enhance employee experience, optimize team performance, and turn complexity into clarity. Great cultures don’t happen by accident — they’re intentionally designed, nurtured, and led! Outside of the People world, I enjoy being active (🚴🏻‍♀️ biking, working out, and talking about how I recently got into hot yoga), reading (📚 please talk to me about your latest read), and traveling (🗺️ mostly for the people and food)!
