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 handle the full production to launch process, including designing content, creating visuals, recording walkthroughs, building guides, and deploying to LMS.
