That’s how I explain it at coffee shops.

I’ve been in Human Resources for over 20 years, and the most common comment I hear is, “I’ve never met an HR person like you before.” I (most of the time!) take it as a compliment because it’s about being genuine, trustworthy, honest, and bringing a sense of humor whenever possible. Though, the way HR people are portrayed in TV and Film is hilarious - in particular Martha Kelly’s Barbara on Hacks.

I’ve had the privilege of working with incredible companies and clients, spanning industries like media & entertainment (Tribeca Festival), global design (Bulletproof), small and nimble advertising agencies (n&f) and larger agencies (Anomaly). While every company has its own values and challenges, one thing remains constant: it’s all about the people. People are people, no matter where you go. The companies that truly empower their employees are those that face obstacles head-on and focus on building meaningful connections within their teams. Listen more than you talk and you’re on the right path.

Over the years, I’ve done a little bit of everything, thanks to being part of small, versatile HR teams. I thrive in spaces where I can plug in and turn chaos into organization. I own three different kinds of label makers and use them every chance I get! I don’t claim to have all the answers, but I know where to find them. I collaborate with a team of skilled professionals who can bring any HR initiative to life, and if I’m not the right fit, I’ll tell you that upfront.

Whether you need help with a project or someone to step in as your dedicated HR person for a day or two a week or month, I’d love to hear about it. Reach out with any questions, and I can’t wait to learn more about everything.
