I'm a former Vice President and Director of Human Resources with 30 years of HR leadership experience helping startups, nonprofits, and growing organizations solve practical HR challenges. I hold an M.S. in Human Resource Management and a Ph.D. in Industrial-Organizational Psychology, and I'm the author of The Next Wave of People Management (2026) and Don't Quit Your Day Job, Learn to Love It (2009). I am also a speaker and Adjunct Professor. Whether you need an HR audit, updated employee handbook, guidance through a difficult employee relations issue, compensation support, custom management training, or executive-level HR guidance, I provide practical, legally sound solutions that help organizations move forward with confidence. My clients range from companies needing assistance with a single HR project to organizations that retain me as their Fractional or Interim HR Executive. No matter the scope, my goal is simple: provide practical HR solutions that protect your organization, support your employees, and make your job easier.

Growth exposes everything. I help you fix it. I'm a fractional operations partner with 15+ years of experience building the systems, processes, and people infrastructure that let organizations scale without losing consistency or control. I've served as a senior leader inside a $150M ARR franchise network, built entire departments from scratch, recruited and onboarded over 500 professionals personally, and delivered B2C and B2B sales programs that exceeding first year targets by over $2M. I've made the expensive mistakes already. You get to skip straight to what works. Where I plug in and add immediate value: - Operational Infrastructure & SOPs โ€” Coming from the franchise world where "multi-location readiness" was everything, I know how to design and document the workflows, playbooks, and standard operating procedures that create consistency across teams and locations. If your team still operates from tribal knowledge, we'll capture what works, document it, and make it digestible and repeatable. - Onboarding & Ramp Programs โ€” I build onboarding programs tied to performance outcomes, not just task completion. New hires and new business units get up to speed faster, with less hand-holding required from your senior team. This can look like capturing your corporate DNA in a Masterclass, breaking bad habits in group workshops, or even helping lead a content-heavy LMS implementation. - Leadership Development & Team Infrastructure โ€” I help you build the management layer your org needs to scale. That means installing the right hiring frameworks, performance management rhythms, and meeting operating systems so your leaders run tight, accountable teams โ€” without you in every room. - Fractional COO / Chief of Staff Support โ€” I can step into an embedded capacity to own cross-functional initiatives, build out operational cadences, run performance dashboards and OKR reporting, and execute on the priorities leadership doesn't have bandwidth to drive themselves. I know which revenue levers to pull, but what I'm really building is something you're proud to walk into every day โ€” a business that runs on clarity, not chaos, and a team who actually loves being a part of it. If that's what you're after, let's talk!

I design high-quality learning experiences and educational programs for organizations across education, wellness, and business. I hold a Masterโ€™s Degree in Teaching and specialize in designing engaging and effective learning experiences and educational products that people genuinely enjoy. My work focuses on creating learning journeys that are strategically structured, emotionally intelligent, and built to create real transformation and long-term impact. Over the past 11+ years, I have led the development of digital and facilitator-led learning programs used by educators, school leaders, instructional coaches, support staff, and diverse learner communities across multiple contexts, including remote and underserved environments. I specialize in turning complex ideas into clear, practical, and meaningful learning experiences that people can actually complete, apply, and grow from. My core strengths include: learning experience architecture curriculum and program sequencing workshop and course development educational storytelling workbook and facilitator guide creation learner engagement and motivation emotional and behavioral learning design webinar and educational ecosystem strategy customer/learner journey alignment instructional writing and messaging clarity While I am experienced with digital learning platforms and course ecosystems, my primary focus is not the technical build itself โ€” it is the thinking behind the experience: structuring content thoughtfully, pacing learning effectively, supporting behavior change, and creating educational environments that feel clear, engaging, human-centered, and transformational. My background spans classroom teaching, curriculum and program development, emotional wellness, and learning strategy, allowing me to combine strategic systems thinking with deep human insight. Iโ€™m especially interested in how education shapes confidence, culture, communication, wellbeing, and long-term growth within both organizations and communities. Iโ€™m drawn to projects that value depth, clarity, meaningful engagement, and thoughtful transformation over generic content production or surface-level marketing. If youโ€™re looking for someone who can architect engaging learning experiences, strengthen educational storytelling, refine learning flow, and help create cohesive, high-impact programs, Iโ€™d love to collaborate.
