HR Background

I started my career in management consulting and analytical roles, which gave me a strong operator and systems mindset early on. I later moved into HR, where I could apply that way of thinking to leadership, people systems, and real-world decision making.

I've led HR in complex, regulated, mature, and start-up environments where trust and strong systems were essential to getting the work done well.

Overall, I am a practical and systems-oriented person. My goal is to make things clearer and easier than I found them. I operate with an emphasis on leader support. I care deeply about helping leaders navigate real situations thoughtfully.

Beyond HR

Outside of work, I spend time with my family in the Pacific Northwest - hiking, kayaking, watching comedies (laughing is a must), reading, volunteering, and soaking up every second of summer sunshine!
