Summary I am a highly motivated and energetic SPHR certified Human Resource professional
who is seeking an opportunity to make a difference in the business of human assets with your
company. I have almost 20 years of generalist experience in all aspects of human resources
management. I have had the opportunity to build from the ground up two separate human resource
departments. Those companies have reaped such benefits as the reduction in turnover by more than
70 percent; increased employee morale, productivity and engagement; decreased legal liabilities
from non-compliance of federal and state laws; improved performance management skills and a
pipeline of skilled, trained and “ready now” candidates for future growth. I would love the opportunity
to show you the value I can add to your company.
