Summary

I’m an HR professional with a passion for building thoughtful, people-first programs that support both employees and business goals. I’ve worked closely with leaders to drive initiatives in performance management, goal setting, onboarding, talent development, and employee engagement. What drives me most is helping teams succeed by creating structure where it matters, and flexibility where it counts. I’m deeply invested in meaningful work, continuous learning, and contributing to cultures where people feel supported, and challenged to grow. I’m excited to bring that mindset into new opportunities where I can make a real difference.
