Whether leading nationwide hiring initiatives or managing sensitive labor and compliance matters, I bring structure, strategy, and a people-first mindset to every challenge.My Master of Legal Studies, focused on employment and labor law, gives me a strong foundation for navigating HR compliance, union interactions, investigations, and leave programs (FMLA, ADA, COVID, STD). My experience spans automotive, IT staffing, and manufacturing, with a history of supporting both U.S. and international teams.
