About

I build HR functions that scale.

With over nine years spanning talent acquisition, people analytics, org design, and HR operations, I specialize in partnering with senior leadership to translate business strategy into workforce outcomes. I am most effective in environments where the HR function is growing, changing, or being built, and where data-backed decisions are expected, not optional.

At Solenis, I partner daily with BU leaders and C-suite across the full M&A lifecycle: from pre-close due diligence and workforce planning through Day 1 readiness, organizational restructuring, and stabilization. Before that, I built analytical capabilities into talent functions at Bioclinica and VNA Health Group, applying data visualization and HRIS analytics to drive smarter workforce decisions.

My background in life sciences and healthcare, industries defined by compliance rigor, talent complexity, and rapid change, has shaped a leadership style grounded in urgency, structure, and accountability.
