If your HR operation is running on scattered spreadsheets, outdated documents, inconsistent practices, or pure survival instinct, I can help you turn it into a practical, scalable system.
I bring 15+ years of combined HR, talent acquisition, workforce development, and candidate assessment experience. I combine senior-level HR leadership with Lean Six Sigma process improvement to diagnose what is not working, identify the root cause, and build solutions your organization can actually sustain.
I do more than provide recommendations. I create the policies, workflows, documentation, tools, and implementation plans needed to put those recommendations into practice.
Selected results include:
• Reduced first-30-day employee turnover from over 60% to under 20% by redesigning onboarding operations and concentrating activity around the highest-volume start days
• Reduced recruiting cycle times from 60–90 days to approximately 30–45 days by standardizing intake and screening criteria, redesigning recruiter workflows, and introducing pipeline and aging metrics
• Increased recruiter productivity by 15% by designing and implementing the organization’s first performance-based incentive program
• Developed the business case, financial analysis, KPI framework, and pilot for a workforce-model conversion that saved more than $175K per provider
• Led a $20M+ operation and a 150-person multidisciplinary organization spanning recruiting, credentialing, analytics, project management, and provider payment
I can help your organization with:
• Fractional HR leadership and HR operational assessments
• Employee handbooks, workplace policies, SOPs, and training materials
• HR compliance reviews and process audits
• Recruiting strategy, job descriptions, screening tools, and hiring-process improvement
• Onboarding and offboarding workflows, forms, checklists, and manager guidance
• Performance management, employee relations, and manager coaching
• Organizational design, workforce planning, compensation, and accountability systems
• HRIS implementation, workflow redesign, system documentation, and optimization
Systems experience includes Workday, SAP HCM, Dayforce, UKG/UltiPro, iCIMS, Microsoft Dynamics CRM, SharePoint, Tableau, Power BI, MS Project, and MondayDOTcom.
Industry experience includes healthcare, government contracting, nonprofit, manufacturing, staffing, professional services, consulting, and small business.
I am especially effective in organizations where HR has grown reactively and leaders know something is not working, but have not had the time or internal expertise to fix it. Send me a message describing the problem, and I will help you determine what needs to happen next.

SHRM-SCP certified HR consultant with over 10 years of experience supporting small and midsize businesses as a fractional HR partner. I hold a Master of Science in Human Resources Management and a Bachelor of Science in Management Information Systems and Business Analytics. My background includes HR operations, multi-state compliance, employee relations, compensation, recruiting, HR systems, and people analytics across the U.S. and UK.
I work with companies across technology, sales, retail, professional services, and multi-location operations. I typically step in when a business needs experienced HR leadership, additional operational support, or stronger processes, whether that means building the HR function from the ground up or managing ongoing day-to-day people operations.
I have supported early-stage startups, established small and midsize businesses, fully remote teams, and companies expanding into new states or countries. Much of my work involves helping businesses manage multi-state compliance, align practices across locations, and put consistent processes in place without creating unnecessary layers or complexity.
How I typically support clients:
- Serve as a fractional HR lead and manage HR operations, compliance, and the employee lifecycle
- Set up and manage HR systems, processes, and documentation
- Develop or update employee handbooks, policies, and core HR infrastructure
- Manage onboarding and offboarding, including workflows, documentation, and systems access
- Handle employee relations, performance concerns, disciplinary matters, terminations, and day-to-day HR guidance
- Conduct compliance reviews across multiple states and UK requirements, identify gaps, and implement corrections
- Build practical performance management, review, coaching, and feedback processes
- Support hiring from job postings and candidate screening through offers and new-hire setup
- Develop compensation structures, salary ranges, commission plans, and job levels
- Maintain HR records, organize employee files, and improve audit readiness
- Create SOPs, templates, checklists, and repeatable HR workflows
- Support payroll, benefits administration, leave management, and HR reporting
Tools and areas I work in regularly:
HR compliance, employee relations, policy development, compensation, performance management, recruiting, onboarding, offboarding, HRIS implementation, payroll administration, Excel, Power BI, ADP Workforce Now, Gusto, Rippling, BambooHR, Dayforce, Lattice, Paychex, and QuickBooks.
Education:

- Bachelor of Science in Management Information Systems and Business Analytics
Credentials:
- SHRM-SCP, Senior Certified Professional
- Google Data Analytics Certificate
- SAS Specialization in Statistics and Data Mining for Business
- HR Technology and Analytics for Decision Making Certificate
I am often brought into businesses that do not yet have an established HR function or have outgrown the systems and processes they put in place early on. My work is usually a combination of resolving immediate issues, building the right structure, and providing ongoing HR oversight so the function continues to operate effectively as the business grows.

For previous 2 years+, I have been working with a FinOps client who has a fractional HR service as an Independent contractor, direct bill and not on UpWork platform which explains my lack of recent UpWork contracts. In this position, I have helped small business clients configure their Gusto payroll, and have created HR policies, processes, etc. to ensure state/federal compliance and just as important, helped the client to concentrate on building his business vs. worrying about the HR function.
AND I have an amazing work ethic! You won't have to micromanage me- I'm a self starter, I know what needs to be done and work very hard to allow my clients to focus on building a successful business without fretting over Human Resources.
