My Journey

My professional journey began in the public sector where I supported a vulnerable population. Most of my professional life however, I spent in the energy industry in Human Resources where I held various leadership roles for more than 20 years. During this time, I gained deep expertise in strategic business partnering, Learning and Organizational Development, and Leadership Development. I successfully helped business and leaders build people strategies, understand the causes behind their challenges, and drove improvement initiatives, that delivered business results.
