About

Seven years into my career, and here's what I've learned: the magic happens when business strategy and people priorities come together. At Strat-Board, I partner with HR and Business Leaders to identify and deploy solutions that align business goals with people priorities. I also lead TalentRep, where we connect working professionals with high-impact roles at leading organizations - managing everything from recruitment and onboarding to engagement and retention. My sweet spot - Scaling business verticals, streamlining operations, and turning strategic plans into real outcomes. I love the challenge of making things work in fast-paced, dynamic environments where agility and execution are everything. Outside of work, you'll find me binge-watching light-hearted shows, exploring new cultures and cuisines, visiting places with historical significance, or starting my day with a good read. Let’s connect to explore opportunities and drive success together!
