I have been a phenomenal writer since I was a child. I have always had a passion for Sports, Video Games, Food, Music, and Movies. I am a big time nerd, who's knowledge of all of these subjects will be worth your while!

People Strategy Consultant | Talent, Culture & Org Development
Seattle, Washington
$100/hr$100 per hour5.0 (6) 16 jobs $100K+ total earnings
I solve complex People problems, from finding exceptional talent to fixing the systems, leadership and culture that determine whether people succeed once they're there.
I bring 20+ years of experience across People Strategy, Talent Acquisition and Organizational Development, including eight years at Amazon and senior People leadership roles across global organizations.
Today, I work with founders, executives and People leaders who need experienced support without necessarily needing another full-time executive. I can step into a specific challenge, lead a major project, or operate as a fractional strategic partner.
My work spans the full employee lifecycle, including:
PEOPLE & ORGANIZATIONAL STRATEGY
• People strategy and operating-model design
• Organizational development and workforce planning
• Culture, engagement and employee experience
• Change management and organizational transformation
• Process improvement, automation and AI opportunities
TALENT & PERFORMANCE
• Executive search and hard-to-fill recruitment
• Talent strategy and workforce planning
• Performance management and competency frameworks
• Assessment and selection strategy
• Succession and talent development
LEADERSHIP & DEVELOPMENT
• Leadership development programs
• Manager training and workshops
• Learning & development strategy
• Skills and capability assessments
• Facilitation, coaching and executive advisory
I've worked at considerable scale. At Amazon, I held senior roles across Talent Acquisition and Employee Engagement, became an Amazon Bar Raiser and Bar Raiser Mentor, and trained 1,000+ hiring managers globally. Earlier in my career, I delivered hundreds of hires while dramatically reducing time-to-hire, agency spend and early attrition.
As an independent consultant, my work has included organizational and L&D audits, global performance-management redesign, competency and leveling frameworks, leadership development, executive and specialist search, assessment design, employee engagement and change initiatives.
My approach is diagnostic rather than off-the-shelf. I want to understand what's actually causing the problem, challenge assumptions where necessary, use data and evidence to determine what needs to change, and build something practical enough that people will actually use it.

If you have a difficult People, Talent or organizational challenge and aren't quite sure what the solution should look like yet, that's often exactly where I'm most useful.

I write to make a difference—from helping communities heal through writing obituaries as a journalist to bridging the gap between patients and clinicians as a copywriter, and to creating clear documentation to ensure personnel perform their work safely as a technical writer—I believe everyone should have access to information necessary to make informed decisions about their lives.
I have over 7 years of experience in writing, content creation, and management including AP style journalism, APA style copywriting, technical writing, website and document management, and project management.
My content creation experience spreads across long-form (100+ page) safety documents, short-form social and email media copy, HTML-coded, SEO-optimized website copy, and much more!
In my free time, I love to play rugby, travel, hike, practice mixology, watch Seattle Reign soccer games, and play guitar (very badly).
