With experience spanning healthcare, defense contracting, manufacturing, and startups, I’ve led organizations through complex transformations that strengthen both business performance and employee engagement.As the inaugural Head of HR at Liberty Alliance, I built the HR function from the ground up for a rapidly growing DoD contractor, designing the framework that supports our national defense workforce today. At Curative, Inc, I restructured HR operations to save over $195K annually and introduced recruitment innovations that reduced hospital hiring costs by $290K+.A proud Navy veteran, I bring the same discipline and adaptability to corporate leadership that I honed in service; thriving in high-pressure, mission-critical environments where strategy meets execution.Core Strengths: Strategic HR Management | Talent Acquisition & Retention | Leadership Development | Change & Culture Transformation | Performance Management | Regulatory ComplianceLet’s connect if you’re passionate about building strong, people-first organizations that deliver measurable results.
