Compassionate. Informed. Effective. 

Growing up in Florida, I was shaped by the values of family, relationships, and community. When choosing a career path, I knew I was called to work with people and for people. I was drawn to HR early on because it allowed me to help others and make a meaningful difference in their lives. Over the years, that passion has only grown stronger. I’ve dedicated my career to creating thriving cultures where employees are engaged, leaders are empowered and learning and development are woven into everyday work.

 

I’m the kind of HR professional who remembers your kid’s names, celebrates your wins, and still holds the line on compliance — because people deserve workplaces that are both human and high‑performing. After 25 years in this field, that belief has become the foundation of who I am as a leader and how I show up for the organizations I serve.

​

If you’re looking for an HR executive and change agent with a deep passion for developing others, that’s where I thrive. I’ve spent my career leading award‑winning culture transformations, helping teams grow stronger, more connected, and more resilient. I’m a servant leader at heart — someone who leads with empathy, emotional intelligence, and a genuine commitment to elevating people.

 

My work is rooted in the idea that when you invest in individuals, you transform entire organizations.

​

​I partner with organizations to build forward‑thinking strategies that strengthen their teams and help them avoid workforce reductions whenever possible. I’m known for my commitment to compliance, ethics, and leadership — and for my belief that when you build meaningful work cultures, everything else follows.

​

Giving back to the HR profession is a huge part of who I am. I’m an active member of the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) and proudly serve as an advocate for workplace policy. I also serve as the Director of Legislative Affairs – Federal on the SHRM Florida State Council, where I connect with legislators to share real‑world HR insights and contribute to shaping workplace legislation. Advocacy allows me to use my experience to influence positive change, and it’s work I’m incredibly proud of.

 

Throughout my career, I’ve been honored with several recognitions that reflect my dedication to people and culture. I was nominated for HR Person of the Year in 2015, 2016, and 2017, and in 2018 I received the Tampa Bay Business Journal’s “People First Award.” Earlier in my career, I was named one of Tampa Bay Business Leader Media’s Businesswomen Extraordinaire, a moment that still means a lot to me.

​

Education and continuous learning have always been important to me, and I bring that same mindset to the clients and teams I support. I am a Certified Professional in Human Resources (PHR) and hold my SHRM‑CP. I graduated summa cum laude from Rasmussen College with a Bachelor of Science in Human Resources and Organizational Leadership.

​

My mission is to help organizations create those environments — and to support leaders in building cultures that put people first.
