SUMMARY

During my **+ year career in Human Resources I have developed into a strong performer in the areas of employee relations, project management, process & program improvement as well as training and development. My ability to dig in and get the job done (and done well!) with a great attitude is definitely my best quality. I am seeking an opportunity that align with my priorities of excellent customer service, rock solid integrity and driving accountability – with emphasis on humanity in all actions. I am motivated by the opportunity to use my current skills but truly inspired by the opportunity to help others evolve, learn and grow.
