Looking after the people...looking after the people
If you think HR is 'just warm and fluffy' or 'only protects the employer' then you haven't met the right HR leader...yet. I'd love to help you make your job easier! People describe me as a tenacious, hands-on leader who builds authentic connections at all levels of the business. I am a creative and entrepreneurial individual, and I thrive in diverse and dynamic projects. I have an engaging and down-to-earth approach, underpinned by service industry know-how developed in my 20+ years in people and culture executive roles. I am passionate about our local region and thrive in working with diverse stakeholders in the people and culture space.
