Why I do this

 

Early in my career, I created and led an initiative to launch the first self-directed work team in a Fortune 500 company, which provided me the foundation to effectively lead planned strategic change. As a result of that experience, I was recognized by the Department of Labor, and it was my catapult into the field of HR.

I love what I do for a living, especially the moments where I can show people how HR can be their partner and advocate, not a transactional function to be avoided. Colleagues know me as an extremely innovative HR professional who can always be counted on to bring the right mix of ingenuity, passion, and personality to the job.
