My Story

I didn’t just “fall into” HR. I moved through every lane on purpose — compensation planning? Did it. Recruiting? Dominated it. Benefits? Covered. Employee Relations? Oh, we can handle that together.

 

Why?

Because I wanted the full corporate map so I could climb the ladder and teach others the shortcuts.

 

After years of watching smart, capable people struggle with resumes, awkward interviews, and dry LinkedIn profiles, it clicked:
The problem was never talent — it was strategy.
So I started sharing what I know from inside the hiring room.

 

And let me tell you — I was born for this HR life. I want that passion to feel like a gift when you work with me.

 

With 10+ years in Human Resources — supporting multiple locations across the U.S., managing 50+ employees, and handling everything from recruiting to onboarding to employee relations — I know exactly what makes someone stand out… or burn out.

 

And if we’re talking receipts?
My clients have landed 6-figure offers, federal government roles, big-name opportunities (Indeed 👀), internal promotions, and career pivots that changed their income and their confidence.

And If You’re Wondering What Makes Me Different…

I get why people side-eye HR. Some teams act like gatekeepers instead of partners.
But the people I’ve supported will tell you this:

I’m not that kind of HR.

Here’s why:

  • I’m human first.

  • I will ask you the tough questions.

  • I lead with grace — always.

  • I actually smile at work (wild, I know).

  • I want you to learn, recover, and LEVEL UP.

  • Your growth and happiness matter to me more than the handbook.

  • And I fully understand work is only one part of your bigger picture.

I bring strategy, heart, honesty, and just the right amount of pressure to help you become who you’re meant to be in your career.
