When organizations face their most complex people, compliance, and communication challenges, they need more than an HR consultant. They need someone who has lived at the intersection of all three. I am a J.D.-trained HR strategist and licensed NBA/WNBA agent with 9+ years of experience building HR infrastructure, resolving high-stakes employee relations matters, and delivering workforce solutions that protect organizations legally while enabling them to scale. My clients get the kind of counsel that was previously only available to organizations large enough to maintain a full legal and HR department simultaneously. **What I bring to your project** ⚖️ Most HR consultants know policy. I know policy, employment law, and how a judge reads a paper trail. That combination means every framework I build, every investigation I conduct, and every compliance audit I deliver is defensible from the first document to the last. **Three areas where I deliver results** 🛠️ **HR Infrastructure & Compliance** Building employee handbooks, policy frameworks, and onboarding systems from scratch for startups and scaling organizations. California multi-state compliance, AB5/ABC Test audits, and audit-ready documentation across 185+ client engagements with zero regulatory findings. **Employee Relations & Investigations** 🔍 Managing complex ER matters end to end, from intake through resolution, with the legal grounding and human judgment that produces fair, defensible outcomes. I coach leaders through the hard conversations and build the documentation discipline that protects the company before it needs protecting. **Training & Learning Design** 🎓 MS-HRM specialized in Online Learning Innovation and Design. I design and deliver virtual training programs for managers and frontline teams that produce behavioral change, not just completion certificates. Train-the-trainer delivery, manager transition coaching, and microlearning systems built for organizations where training windows are tight. **Content, Writing & Legal Research** ✍️ My B.A. in Communication Studies with a Mass Media emphasis and J.D. training combine into a writing and research capability that most freelancers cannot replicate. I have produced original research reports on employment law trends including FLSA, written longform LinkedIn articles across labor economics, public policy, leadership philosophy, and sports agency contract architecture, and built a published catalog of 14 articles across 7 content verticals. I write with the precision of a trained legal researcher and the accessibility of a practitioner who has spent years translating complex subject matter for non-specialist audiences. **Content services I deliver** 📝 Original research reports grounded in primary sources, government databases, and survey data. Legal and HR policy writing. Thought leadership articles and ghostwriting for executives and founders. Resume re-engineering and career repositioning documents. E-commerce and business program evaluations. Employer brand content and internal communications. **Social Media & Digital Presence** 📱 I have been building and monetizing social media audiences since 2010, before most of today's scheduling and analytics tools existed. I currently manage three active brand voices simultaneously across Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, and Threads, generating 1.8M+ views monthly without paid promotion. I write platform-native copy, direct AI-assisted visual and video production, and use performance data to refine what gets published. For clients who need social media strategy, content creation, brand voice development, or audience growth without buying fake reach, I bring 15+ years of real execution. **AI-Enabled Workflow Design** 🤖 I use AI as a daily working tool, not a novelty. I build AI-assisted content pipelines, research workflows, and document production systems that compress what used to take days into hours without sacrificing quality or accuracy. If your team needs help designing AI-integrated workflows for HR, content, or communications functions, that is a service I deliver directly. Pacific Time Zone. Remote-capable. Available for project-based and ongoing engagements. Ready to discuss your situation? Send me a message and let's identify where the gaps are.
