Hire the Best Organizational Plans Freelancers in California

I help founders, leaders, and teams improve execution, identify operational bottlenecks, strengthen accountability, and create scalable systems that support growth. My background is in organizational psychology, change management, organization development, and process consultation, and I bring both a strategic and operational lens to the businesses I support. I work closely with founder-led and growing organizations that need greater alignment between strategy and day-to-day execution. This often includes improving workflows, clarifying priorities, streamlining communication, supporting decision-making, and helping leadership teams operate more effectively as the organization scales. My work is especially well-suited for organizations navigating growth, operational complexity, leadership transitions, or organizational change. In parallel, I also do a lot of work with psychometrics and assessments, especially for private-equity backed firms and companies in high-growth environments.

Ph.D., Organizational Psychology. TEDx speaker featured on TED’s homepage. Talent, Organizational Development, and Survey specialist. I have 7+ years of experience working in talent and organizational development, though many of the skills I developed came from my 7 previous years in marketing. My goal is to leverage science and research to help you achieve your goals in a clear and applicable way. Within the past couple of years, I've worked on projects for Accenture within their career architecture, assessment, and recruiting teams. I have also worked on projects for Johnson & Johnson, McGill University, Yaamava (previously San Manuel) Casino, Denny's, Teachable, and Workboard, among others.

About me: I initially pursued a career in marketing. I worked as a strategy consultant in healthcare, then pivoted into a tech innovation startup specializing in AI-driven, gamified e-commerce products. After 7 years of marketing in NYC, even in a director role, I realized that while I still loved business and psychology, and I very much loved my current job, I just wasn’t interested in selling products. Call me naive and idealistic, but I wanted to make an imprint on people's lives and help make the world a better place by creating a less stressed/burnt-out workforce. I envision a world where people thrive at their work, finding it engaging and energizing, and I want to help companies create the optimal space to make that a reality. To that end, I shifted my career trajectory and shifted towards organizational behavior. I love the consulting projects I've done and the clients I've worked with over these past few years. I completed my MA and PhD studying Positive Organizational Psychology. My research focuses on: • employee engagement • healthy work-life balance • burnout prevention • remote work • high-quality connections • virtual teams • leadership development • viewpoint diversity and more. I am also a TEDx speaker, and my talk was selected to be featured on TED’s homepage (my talk was titled, "3 simple ways to build stronger relationships at work".

Growing organizations hire me when their people operations need to catch up with their ambition.

Strategic HR System Architect | JD & MS-HRM | Legal & Organizational Specialist ⚖️🏛️📱 The Interdisciplinary Advantage: Where Legal Precision Meets Human Capital Strategy In today’s volatile global market, managing a workforce requires more than administrative oversight—it requires a System Architect. My professional practice is built at the intersection of three high-level disciplines: Legal Rigor, Human Resource Innovation, and Strategic Mass Communication. With a Juris Doctor (JD) from the University of San Francisco School of Law and a Master of Science in Human Resource Management (MS-HRM) specializing in Online Facilitation and Innovation, I don’t just manage people; I architect the robust, long-term systems that allow organizations and high-velocity individuals to thrive. My Architectural Framework: The Three Pillars of Excellence 🛡️ 1. Legal Infrastructure & Risk Mitigation (The Legal Logic) ⚖️ A successful organization is only as strong as its legal "Source Code." I apply a rigorous legal lens to the HR function, ensuring every policy, contract, and internal protocol is defensible and strategically sound. Compliance Ecosystems: I design employee handbooks and SOPs that navigate the complexities of state and federal labor laws with zero-friction implementation. Contractual Integrity: Expert drafting and review of employment agreements, NDAs, and independent contractor structures to protect your intellectual property and operational sovereignty. Conflict Resolution: Applying judicial-level analysis to workplace investigations, grievances, and sensitive employee relations to patch organizational "bugs" before they escalate. 2. Human Capital Systems & Digital Innovation (The Systemic Logic) 🧠 My specialty in Online Facilitation allows me to bridge the gap between traditional HR and the modern, digital-first workplace. I treat your workforce as a complex system requiring data-driven gap analysis and scalable growth protocols. Strategic Workforce Planning: Aligning talent acquisition with long-term business goals through rigorous systems analysis and "Pre-Snap" market reading. Elite Online Facilitation: Designing immersive virtual onboarding, professional development workshops, and collaborative digital environments that maintain high-fidelity engagement across remote and hybrid teams. Change Management: Leading organizational transitions with a focus on psychological safety, systemic efficiency, and "Outlier" value retention. 3. Strategic Mass Communication (The Narrative Logic) 📢 Effective leadership is rooted in clear, impactful messaging. My background in Mass Media allows me to craft the internal and external narratives that define a brand’s culture and market position. Employer Branding: Positioning your organization as an employer of choice by leveraging media principles to attract top-tier talent. Internal Communications Patch: Streamlining complex organizational updates into clear, actionable, and transparent protocols that ensure total alignment from the executive suite to the front line. Specialized Focus: Urban Human Resources & Elite Management 🚀 I am the founder of Urban Human Resources, a specialized consultancy addressing the unique challenges of the "Survivor-to-Executive" pipeline. I understand the nuances of code-switching, marginalized talent management, and the specific employment law hurdles faced by diverse workforces. My approach values the "Outlier"—the high-potential individual whose raw experience and unique background can be transformed into executive excellence through the right systemic support. I believe a system with "Long-Term Memory" is essential for recognizing and integrating these unique contributors into a high-performance culture. The Professional Sports Edge: 🏀 As a Certified NBA and WNBA Agent, I bring the high-stakes negotiation skills and analytical intensity of professional sports to the corporate world. Whether I am representing an elite athlete or a growing enterprise, my goal is the same: to Maximize Value through Strategic Architecture. Core Service Protocols (How We Build Together) 🛠️ Full-Stack HR Infrastructure: Building your HR department from the ground up with a focus on long-term scalability and legal sovereignty. Policy & Compliance Audits: Comprehensive systemic reviews to identify risks and "patch" vulnerabilities in your operational foundation. Executive Coaching & Facilitation: High-level leadership development designed for the modern, digital-first innovator. Talent Optimization & Scouting: Identifying and integrating "Outlier" talent who possess the grit and ingenuity to drive your organization forward. Why Partner With a System Architect? 🏟️ I approach every project with the mindset of Peyton Manning at the line of scrimmage. I don’t just execute a play; I read the entire field, anticipate the defense, and adjust the system in real-time to ensure success. I value Long-Term Memory in systems—ensuring your organizat
