About

🔗 Connector 📆 Organizer ✅ Loves to solve complex problems 🌤Brings calm to chaos 🍕Has strong opinions about food Work Experience: I've spent my career across a number of roles in HR, at large, medium, and small companies. I started my career in an HR rotational program at Cisco, where I learned how to make an impact incredibly quickly, and learned the HR Business Partnership world. I then spent a couple years at Confluent, managing project and programs across talent management, DEI, and L&D. Most recently, I was at Off the Grid as the Culture and Development Lead, where I was the single point of contact for all things culture - onboarding & offboarding, annual reviews, employee events, career development, among others. My diverse experiences allow me to bring a really unique perspective and skillset to every new role I take on. Personal Passions: After work you can find me watching Great British Baking Show with my Teacup Yorkie, hiking a new National Park, or playing viola in a community orchestra.
