Summary

Experienced Human Resources professional with over 20 years of excellent experience and demonstrated success in the automotive industry. Excellent reputation for consultative leadership as an HR Supervisor, Labor Relations Supervisor, and HR Business Partner always focused on strategic planning, resolving problems and DEI work to build strong work cultures. Building positive working relationship and rapport to partner with Vice Presidents, Plant Managers, Directors, Managers and Supervisors, UAW leadership as well as hourly employee is a hallmark.

As a member of Ford Motor Company's DEI project team, I helped work on their first ever DEI audit in 2020, and currently coach VPs on DEI strategic planning, analysis, and employee communications.

I've managed career development programs and facilitated both succession planning and salaried career development committees for new employees up to and including Director level employees. I'm excited to continually expand skill set, build on experiences, and broaden reach as a proven HR leader and HR Manager in a wide variety of industries.
