HR Director-VML. I love connecting with people. Whether I'm interviewing a prospective new hire, meeting with executives to define and execute corporate goals, or collaborating with an innovative HR team to create a fun employee engagement event, interacting with people at all levels of an organization is my specialty. As an innovative and results-oriented HR specialist with more than eight years of experience spanning the start-up, corporate, and international space, I have an extensive background in talent acquisition, recruiting process development, new hire onboarding, training and development, performance management, employee relations, mergers and acquisitions, policy administration, reward and recognition programs, and culture development initiatives. I've also been recognized for my ability to identify trends, understand employee needs, and execute effective retention initiatives.
