I am a Senior Human Resources leader with 27 years of experience driving performance management, employee relations, and operational compliance within complex, multi-layered organizations. Throughout my career, I have demonstrated a proven ability to revitalize underperforming programs, resolve long-standing process bottlenecks, and partner with senior leadership to strengthen accountability and workforce effectiveness. I am recognized for implementing structured, data-informed solutions that improve organizational performance and reduce risk.
In my recent role as Senior Performance Management Program Lead at the U.S. Department of State, I was honored with a department-level award for revitalizing an underutilized performance improvement program and strengthening organizational accountability. I increased program engagement significantly by implementing standardized frameworks, supervisor training, and structured case guidance. I also developed data-driven reporting initiatives to enable earlier intervention and proactive workforce management.
My experience includes delivering virtual training to hundreds of HR professionals and supervisors, improving consistency, clarity, and execution of performance management practices. I have directed enterprise-level employee recognition programs and ensured integrity and fairness in evaluation processes. I have also reviewed complex disciplinary cases, ensuring compliance and defensible action in high-sensitivity employee relations matters.
Prior to my civilian career, I served in the U.S. Air Force in various leadership roles including Senior Director of People Operations and Superintendent of the Education Division. I led personnel operations for high-tempo units, contributed to award-winning recruiting performance, and eliminated operational bottlenecks through policy redesign. I also managed technical education programs and occupational health compliance.
Currently, I am an MBA candidate at Southern New Hampshire University, continuously enhancing my business and leadership skills. I am a retired USAF veteran with a Top Secret Security Clearance that is current and reinstatable. I am passionate about leveraging my extensive HR expertise and leadership experience to drive organizational success and workforce excellence.
