Strategic HR Business Partner

Aligning People, Strategy & Performance

15+ years architecting workforce transformation and organizational agility across complex, rapidly changing environments

Strategic Partner. Trusted Advisor. Change Catalyst.

My work is built on three core strengths: building trusted relationships, exercising strategic foresight, and leveraging data to create high-performing organizations.

With deep experience across both government and private sectors, I've shaped workforce strategies in environments where precision, compliance, and readiness are non-negotiable. I connect with people at all levels, earning trust through empathy, transparency, and consistent follow-through.

By combining strategic foresight with data-driven insights, I help organizations make confident decisions that improve performance, retention, and readiness. I'm equally comfortable advising senior leaders, training and mentoring HR teams, and providing consultation and guidance across a variety of HR areas.
