About

A professional HR Generalist with many years of experience. It is my goal to understand what makes everyone within my company tick and truly understand each employee and then aid in fostering creativity and teamwork through this understanding. I am familiar with working in a big business setting such as GAP Inc. to working in a more concentrated and smaller environment such as Benefit Communications INC. In my current role at Unipres, I have a large focus on benefits and I am very passionate about them. I can handle all aspects of benefits and enjoy the challenge that comes along with them but I love helping my employees understand their benefits and helping them get the most out of their benefits. I am also still very involved in many other aspects of HR, including policy and procedure and recruiting when necessary. More than anything, colleagues know me as the person that they can come to with any problem and that I will try to uncover the best solution possible to try and fix the issue, while keeping in mind what is best for our business.
