About Jonnie K.

A competent, committed, and capable HR practitioner and enthusiast. It isn\'t just about recruiting, developing, and retaining talent; it\'s serving as an advocate for your people, and helping your team grow in their professional and personal endeavors. It is my wish to be the inspiration for others to be their best selves in their chosen roles in their career and in life. My collection of fashion retail experience and a general dissatisfaction in the resource allocation and incentivization plans for employees opened my eyes to my three great loves: people, data, and organizational success. I am thrilled to bring innovation and data-driven best practices to the world of Human Resources as I work to bolster a company\'s truest bottom line: its people. Some of the best times I\'ve had was spent designing total compensation packages, discussing relevant employment and labor laws regarding case studies and real life situations as they unfolded, and in using my expertise and empathy in ensuring secured, law-compliant environments in which team members could develop, thrive and feel safe, heard, and a genuine sense of belonging.To be an HR professional is to possess the heart of a dedicated servant. To be of service in the development and nurturing of people is my passion. I\'ve got a toolbelt packed with expertise, networks, and innovation to bring excellence to the HR profession.Would you like to schedule an informational interview? Please reach out!
