With more than 10 years experience in various HR functions, including internal and with HR B2B vendors, I have a solid foundation and passion for all things People.
Throughout my career, I’ve worked in various startups, as an independent contractor and advisor, overseeing generalist and specialized HR duties, such as talent acquisition, learning, and organizational development.
I’ve also taught psychology as an adjunct instructor part-time in both a private vocational college and a state university- work that I’ve valued deeply.
This breadth of exposure has afforded me a profoundly well-rounded skill set, including a natural gravity towards leadership and people development.
“Human resources are like natural resources; they're often buried deep. You have to go looking for them, they're not just lying around on the surface. You have to create the circumstances where they show themselves.”
