💼 About Me

Human Resources isn’t just my profession—it’s my purpose. With over 18 years of experience spanning recruitment, onboarding, employee engagement, and HR strategy, I’ve made it my mission to put the “human” back into Human Resources. I believe people deserve to feel seen, heard, and valued—and that’s exactly what I bring to the table.

I’m known for being a calm and compassionate presence in the room—someone you can trust to handle sensitive matters with discretion and clarity. Whether I’m streamlining processes, guiding teams through change, or mentoring a new professional, I lead with heart, integrity, and insight. HR is my ministry, and every interaction is a chance to create a positive impact.

I thrive in both structured and fast-paced environments, and I pride myself on being adaptable, resourceful, and forward-thinking. I’m currently pursuing my PHR certification and continuously expanding my skills through HRCI courses and hands-on experience. I’m tech-comfortable, people-centered, and always ready to embrace the next challenge.

When I’m not building better workplaces, you’ll find me encouraging others through faith-based mentorship, journaling, studying scripture, attending HR workshops, or walking outdoors to clear my mind and recharge my spirit.

HR with heart. Strategy with soul. Impact with intention.

Let’s connect—I’d love to be a light in your organization.
