Profile Picture

As a business and People & Culture leader with a background spanning Human Resources, Six Sigma, organizational communication, and strategic leadership, I have built my career around developing people, strengthening organizations, and creating systems that drive both organizational performance and individual growth. My professional experience includes leading workforce strategy across diverse environments, building HR infrastructure from the ground up, navigating complex labor relations, and delivering measurable business outcomes through data-driven decision-making and operational excellence.

What differentiates my approach is a strong passion for education, mentorship, and developing the next generation of business professionals. As an educator, I believe learning is most impactful when students can connect academic concepts to real world application. I am deeply committed to creating engaging classroom environments that not only strengthen business knowledge, but also build confidence, communication skills, leadership ability, and professional readiness. My goal is to help students become differentiated career ready professionals who are prepared to contribute meaningfully within today’s business landscape. Teaching represents a meaningful intersection between my professional business background and my passion for higher education and student success. 

Much of this approach and mindset has also been shaped by my experiences as a parent. Actively guiding my own children’s development has given me a profound appreciation for the way people naturally learn through curiosity, exploration, encouragement, and connection. The most profound growth I have witnessed did not come from being told what to think, but from feeling supported enough to ask questions, try new things, think independently, and learn through experience without fear of failure. Human beings of all ages thrive in environments where they feel engaged, valued, challenged, and genuinely supported in their growth both academically and personally.
