I am an HR professional with 5 years of experience, a Master's Degree in Psychology, and a Professional in Human Resources (PHR) certificate. In May 2021, I completed a certificate in Workplace Diversity and Inclusion at Cornell University. I have successfully worked in the corporate world in the technology industry and the non-profit and human services space. In June 2021 I founded an HR consulting firm, Embrace HR LLC, providing HR support to small and mid-size companies with their HR needs. While my resume highlights my rapid ascension into management at my last two companies, Centerboard Inc and CNE Direct Inc, respectively, what may not come through is my passion for coaching, leading, training, process/compliance, and driving efficiency. I am very passionate about putting systems in place that make everyone’s life easier, freeing up time for employee and business development. SMART goals, team building, employee development plans, and accountability metrics are all techniques that I have successfully employed in my previous roles. Additionally, my roles have allowed me experience in recruiting, market analysis, onboarding, termination, global payroll, leave administration, as well as people and project management. As an independent HR consultant, I have created complete HR infrastructure for trucking and construction companies (Creating employee handbook, developing employee onboarding processes, created and facilitated new hire orientation training, implemented record-keeping systems). I have also assumed the role of HR coordinator for a small staffing company which required a variety of tasks, including but not limited to full-cycle recruiting, liaising with vendors and clients, managing schedules and dashboards, etc. I would really welcome the opportunity to speak with you regarding my experience and how it may assist you with meeting your HR or personal goals.
