SummaryEffective Human Resources professional who is focused on helping leaders increase team performance and communication. 15+ years on the business side before finding a home in HR provides the insight to help leaders move the business forward.
I believe HR should be "easy to do business with" and act as a coach and adviser more than policy enforcer. "Managers Manage - HR Assist" would be my motto.
HR should inspire and be a beacon of hope and optimism in the business. Attitude and relationships are vital to business success!
In addition to my career in HR, I have worked as a Financial Analyst, an Analytics Reporting Manager (Metrics and Performance), a Statewide Retail Store Manager (17 stores across Alaska in a union environment), a Customer Service Representative, and a U.S. Marines Infantryman. I hold an MBA as well as a PHR from HRCI.
