I’m a Senior Certified HR Consultant with 15+ years of experience helping small and mid-sized businesses build practical, compliant, and scalable HR systems. My work is hands-on and business-focused—everything from employee handbooks and multi-state compliance to employee relations, performance management, and organizational structure. I’ve supported 70+ companies across the U.S., from early-stage startups to 75+ employee organizations, often stepping in to stabilize HR operations quickly and clean up complex or messy situations. Most clients bring me in when they need experienced HR leadership without hiring a full-time team. I specialize in making HR simpler and more effective—building policies that actually get used, improving manager consistency, and reducing risk while keeping things practical for real-world operations. I also work comfortably in fractional or project-based roles where speed, clarity, and autonomy matter. What I Do: * Employee Handbooks & Policy Development – customized, compliant, and culture-aligned * HR Compliance – multi-state and federal regulations, risk mitigation * Employee Relations & Performance Management – processes to engage and retain top talent * Organizational Structure & HR Systems – workflows, reporting, and operational efficiency * Compensation & Benefits Strategy – pay structures, open enrollment, and incentives * Workforce Planning & HR Audits – staffing, succession planning, and continuous improvement If you’re looking for an experienced HR consultant to streamline operations, ensure compliance, and build a people-centered, high-performing organization—I’d love to partner with you.
