The common thread throughout was developing and maintaining solid relationships with the people; Clients, Staff, and Management.Across my career, I\'ve adhered to a people-first focus in managing teams. My years managing Events and Productions in the NYC hospitality industry have aligned me with a spirit to serve. Not only to ensure clients\' expectations are met but also my team\'s. Encouraging each team member\'s technical and professional development, has helped to create opportunities for many to advance their careers.My years as Senior Account Manager for a Global IT and a Relationship Manager for an Experiential AV Integrator helped hone a process-driven approach to creating procedures and operational standards, improving efficiency within the organizations.My passion for people led me to a career shift from Account/Relationship Management to the People and Culture team. Taking the lead and maximizing the efficiency of the HRIS and ATS systems. This allowed for more automated processes, removing bottlenecks and increasing employee engagement.As a member of Leadership, I lead with a strong understanding and natural ability to calmly and respectfully process and handle confidential issues in accordance with policies and regulations.\"Helping to find and cultivate the best possible people to support our clients and one another is what drives me.\"
