About Me

I’ve worked in the Human Resources field for 20 years in a variety of industries all over the East Coast. My career actually started in IT and evolved into the HR field after being laid off multiple times from tech firms. I started my HR career as a help desk agent for a large company. Basically, the lowest level position you could have in HR. From there I organically grew my career by taking entry level positions and learning all I could in each role and then applying for a promotion or moving on to the next level in another company. I did research, took classes, attended seminars, worked closely with employment attorneys and gained real world experience. I grew slowly but with purpose and finally made it to the Executive suite some years later.

Throughout my career I found the same inconsistencies in leadership at every level. Most of the leaders I worked with lacked emotional intelligence and basic leadership skills. I spent most of my time managing their emotions and doing damage control from the bad decisions they made repeatedly. It wasn’t until I was certified as a Gallup Strengths Coach in early 2022 that I realized people are simply hard-wired to be who they are. There’s no amount of coaching that can change them but, the good news is they can use their strengths to help overcome blind spots in their leadership capabilities. I’ve coached many individuals and teams and found that those who are willing to do the work are the ones who are successful.

When I decided to strike out on my own I wanted to just do Gallup coaching because it’s what I’m passionate about. However, I realized quickly that there are lots of small companies and non-profits who just cannot afford to employ a full-time HR professional just yet. So, I began consulting to assist with the needs of small businesses who are growing and require basic HR guidance. It’s exciting to see a small business on the cusp of exploding into the mainstream but they want to do it the right way and take care their employee’s needs. I enjoy helping small businesses design their organization so that they are set up for success. I also enjoy helping people find their passion, dream job or just get motivated to change their lives.
