About

Professional summary

I am a strategic Human Resources leader with more than 15 years of progressive experience at Fidelity Investments. My work spans HR strategy, workforce planning, talent acquisition, workforce analytics, operations, organizational effectiveness, technology enablement, and business transformation.

I translate complex workforce data and operational challenges into scalable solutions for leaders and HR partners. I have helped build a net-new Brokerage HR Analytics organization, creating foundational data infrastructure, governance practices, reporting products, and self-service analytics capabilities.

I specialize in workforce analytics, executive reporting, talent insights, and data storytelling. I have delivered dashboards, scorecards, talent cards, calibration snapshots, and reporting solutions that combine Workday, Snowflake, survey, mobility, performance, awards, and exit data.

I also bring substantial talent acquisition and workforce-planning experience. I have led full-cycle recruiting, high-volume hiring programs, hiring-manager consultation, pipeline reporting, capacity planning, staffing models, and process improvement initiatives.

I am an operationally minded leader who values cross-functional collaboration, stakeholder management, governance, and continuous improvement. I use technology, automation, and AI-enabled workflow opportunities to improve the employee, leader, and HR partner experience.

I believe sustainable business results come from aligning people, strategy, operations, and technology while building environments where employees and teams can thrive.
