I am an accomplished Human Assets Manager & Certified Executive Coach with more than 12 years of experience developing and leading business strategies to source, attract, retain, engage, and develop top talent and a thriving organizational culture that harnesses the power of diversity and inclusion. Beginning as a grade school teacher with Teach for America nearly 15 years ago, I've built an informed passion for social justice, leadership development, coaching and organizational development. I work with intentionality to set vision and leverage expertise in developing comprehensive training platforms and facilitating adult learning with both senior executives and teams. Furthermore, I’ve developed a proficiency for streamlining the talent acquisition processes by implementing proven, efficient, standardized procedures enterprise-wide. Based on personal conviction and experience, I bring a focus on dialogue, mindset, skill and structural solutions to harness the power of diversity and foster inclusivity. I am well-versed in facilitating organizational transformations to optimize corporate culture through implementation of strategic initiatives. As an Executive Coach, credentialed by Columbia University’s Teacher’s College, I’ve enjoyed the opportunity to help both rising and executive talent capitalize on their potential and push their impact farther than they would have believed is possible. Some of the greatest professional fulfillment I have derived has come from helping others to open the doors in front of them and catalyze transformational progress toward their mission driven work.
