I’ve built and mentored legal teams, partnered deeply with People leaders, and navigated everything from EEOC and DOL matters to HIPAA, HITECH, and enterprise risk in regulated environments.I’m also a certified professional coach, former competitive boxer, and public health grad who cares deeply about wellbeing, emotional intelligence, and sustainable leadership.
