I earned my Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology from the University of Wyoming and a Master’s degree in educational leadership from the University of Montana. I have been a human resource professional for more than two decades and hold a professional in Human Resources certification from HRCI (Human Resources Certification Institute). I have served as the HR director for a non-profit, a regional director for a Coca Cola franchise, and store human resources manager for Home Depot. I have designed training and development workshops for employees, managers, and leaders on a variety of topics including sexual and workplace harassment, recruiting and hiring, personnel management, performance management, and communications skills. I have also provided training to job seekers on interviewing and resume writing, and taught an adult education class for non-traditional students transitioning back to college.
Professional development excites me, and I enjoy helping managers and supervisors improve their leadership skills. I develop and implement training programs for all levels of the organization and this brings me great personal fulfillment. I take pride in knowing that I deliver information in a way that is easily understood - and oftentimes fun for the group!
Coaching and counseling employees at all levels is another strength that I value. It is empowering to help others achieve their professional goals while ensuring the organization is getting what it needs from the workforce.
I will work with you to define your goals and expectations for your employees and develop a training program to help you meet those goals. I can help you define your challenge and brainstorm ways to turn it into an opportunity.
What I do
Personalize training programs to fit the needs of the business. I use my knowledge, education, and resources found on the web and in literature to design my programs. I also use discussion to work on communication skills and help with problem solving.
I design workshops built around the policies and procedures of the Company that I am consulting with.
