About Naomi Taylor

I’m a driven and adaptable professional with a diverse background in HR, recruiting, administration, and compliance. My journey began at the University of Houston, where I earned dual Bachelor of Arts degrees in Psychology and Political Science while competing as a Division I All-American in track and field. Balancing rigorous academics with elite athletics shaped my work ethic, time management, leadership, and resilience—traits that continue to guide my career.I started my professional path in the legal industry as a Legal Analyst, where I specialized in full-cycle recruiting. I was responsible for identifying and sourcing talent, conducting prescreen conversations, coordinating interviews, and handling compensation and benefit negotiations. I also had the opportunity to support hiring events, attend industry conventions, and build meaningful professional relationships. These experiences gave me valuable insight into the importance of compliance, communication, and strategic hiring.My career path then brought me into the oil and gas industry, where I currently serve as an HR Generalist. In this role, I manage key HR functions including payroll processing, employee retention, recruitment, employee relations, administrative operations, and planning company events. I enjoy helping shape positive workplace culture and being a resource for both employees and leadership.I’m grateful for the opportunities I’ve had to grow across industries and thrive in environments where I can support both people and process. I look forward to continued success and to contributing meaningfully as I pursue long-term growth in HR, operations, and organizational development.
