I am a growth-driven Human Resources Executive and SHRM-CP with 7+ years’ deep experience supporting organizations undergoing rapid growth. My HR expertise and people-centered approach allows me to enhance, embed, and scale diverse and inclusive cultures with authentically and genuinely engaged employees. I am highly skilled at delivering growth, process creation and optimization, elevating employee experience, and driving operational value as a strategic HR Business Partner and Total Rewards Leader. At Kendra Scott, a national retailer valued at $1 Billion, I support the company’s tremendous growth, expanding from 400 people and 20 stores to 2,700+ and 200+ stores during tenure. I have proven experience in creating authentic buy-in and engagement across all levels of an organization to drive business objectives, employee engagement, and performance goals. My team continues to establish industry-leading benefits during a period of steep growth to rank Kendra Scott in the in Top 100 Workplaces for Working Women by Searamount (formerly Working Mothers Magazine) in 2021 & 2022, recognized as a Newsweek Top Retailer in 2022, named “Most Loved Workplace” by News Week in 2022 and honored as Built-in Austin’s Top Workplace of 2020 & 2021. I was the recipient of the Kendra Scott Philanthropy Pillar Award and am sought-after presenter, guest, and speaker for large corporate events, industry conferences, and media. Most recently, you can catch me on Jessica Miller-Merrell’s podcast, “Workology” in June 2022. Recently, I was also a featured speaker at the HR Retail Conference in April of this year, speaking on “Company Culture and Leadership Alignment”. Additionally, Leap Retail has invited me on multiple occasions to speak on “Navigating the Pandemic in Support of Retail Teams” and “Bringing Company Culture to Life Through Philanthropy”.
