About

Hi! I’m a life-long learner with a passion for people and discovering what makes them tick. I enjoy tackling tough people problems to find solutions that balance organizational goals and employee happiness. My experience as an Operations Manager, HR Manager and HR Consultant allows me to take a more holistic approach to being a business partner to my clients. Most recently, I completed a Masters in Organizational Development to explore new ideas on how to help organizations realize their full potential, with a focus on people. In my spare time you will find me perusing new recipes, listening to a podcast or doing a little yoga.
