I am passionate about creating and implementing outcome-focused talent solutions that align with the business goals and values, and fostering a culture of collaboration, innovation, and excellence. A few recent achievements include delivering an experiential project management learning academy, partnering with the HR leadership team on enterprise-wide projects, driving retention strategies, and reducing vendor agency spend.
