People don’t outgrow companies—companies fail to grow their people.

I’ve witnessed this throughout my career: capable, driven professionals feeling underutilized; teams brimming with potential but lacking direction; businesses stuck not because of market forces, but because their people weren’t equipped or empowered to evolve.

That’s where I come in.

With over 15 years of experience designing and leading high-impact talent strategies, I’ve made it my mission to transform stagnation into growth. I don’t just recruit—I build frameworks that nurture talent, align purpose, and turn careers into catalysts for business transformation.

At Randstad, I scaled a skilling initiative that served over 11,000 employees—elevating redeployment rates from 8% to 53%, saving $3.2M in hiring costs, and opening the door to $16M in new revenue. I’ve spearheaded retention strategies that foster engagement, built hiring systems that consistently outperform benchmarks, and delivered workforce solutions that create measurable results.

Now, at Regal Group, Inc., I’m applying those same principles to develop a next-generation team of licensed agents. My goal? To attract mission-driven professionals, equip them with the tools to thrive, and cultivate a culture where growth is the standard—not the exception.

I believe talent is personal. The best systems are grounded in empathy. Data should inform, not dictate. And most importantly—people are the heartbeat of every success story.

When I’m not creating people-first strategies, you’ll find me volunteering, deepening my knowledge, or spending time around horses—because whether it’s in the office or out in the pasture, I believe life is best lived by embracing challenges, learning continuously, and never losing sight of the human element.

Let’s talk talent, transformation, or your next chapter. I’m here for all of it.
