I am a strategic and results-driven human resources leader with over 15 years of progressive experience across healthcare and technology sectors. Currently serving as Director of Human Resources at Ascend Software, I oversee all facets of HR in a fully remote environment, including compliance, talent strategy, employee engagement, and total rewards. Under my leadership, employee engagement rose by 25%, and HR operational costs were reduced by $150K through strategic vendor and PEO management.
Previously, I spent a decade with Southeastern Health, where I led a multi-site HR function supporting hospitals, clinics, and long-term care facilities. There, I drove initiatives in compensation, HRIS implementation, retention strategy, and workforce development, consistently aligning HR practices with business goals.
I hold a Master of Science in Human Resources and the SPHR certification. My core strengths include compensation and benefits strategy, HR compliance, people analytics, and leading high-performing HR teams to support scalable growth and employee-centric cultures.More...
