   Oct 2023 — Present

   Ran HR for a medium-sized, blue-collar workforce where hard work wasn\'t just talked about — it got done every day.Hired, coached, and kept top talent by treating people like adults, not numbers — with clear expectations, real opportunities, and a handshake mentality.Handled everything from recruiting to compliance to \"those conversations\" — all with a level head, a firm hand, and the respect every worker deserves.Made sure policies weren’t just written nicely but actually worked in the real world — on the floor, on the road, and on the front lines.Led safety, benefits, and employee relations programs that protected the business and honored the people who kept it running.Worked alongside leadership to build a culture based on trust, hard work, and straight talk — no buzzwords, no gimmicks, just real results.Believed that a strong company isn\'t just built with strategy — it’s built by taking care of the folks who put on their boots and show up every day.
