Head of HR | SHRM-CP | Org Development | Rippling Expert | Startups

I’m a SHRM-certified HR Director with 15+ years of experience driving strategic and operational change. I’ve supported startups at every stage, from pre-seed to growth, as well as Fortune 500 companies (ex-JPMorgan). My work has centered around building HR and People infrastructure from the ground up, including implementing HR systems/workflows (Rippling Expert), leading global recruiting across product, engineering and GTM, and helping teams scale quickly. I’ve helped a variety of clients, from startups/enterprise teams to influencers, bring their ideas to life through online courses. I handle the full production to launch process, including designing content, creating visuals, recording walkthroughs, building guides, and deploying to LMS. I get the startup hustle where priorities shift constantly, and staying adaptable while moving things forward isn’t optional - it’s essential.
