I pride myself in being a dynamic People Operations leader with over a decade of experience shaping organizational growth, talent strategy, and cultivating inclusive workplace cultures. With a background in HR management, organizational development, learning & development, and nonprofit governance, I specialize in aligning talent and culture with organizational goals to create impactful and sustainable change.

Currently serving as the People Operations Manager at Black Girls Code, I have successfully implemented talent strategies that increased employee retention by 12%, led diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEIB) initiatives that improved employee satisfaction to 88% (from 53%), and spearheaded career development programs that fostered personal and professional growth. My commitment to fostering thriving workplaces is evident in my ability to enhance performance through strategic recruitment, team development, and streamlined HR processes.

I bring expertise in organizational development, change management, and cultural transformation to organizations, where I excel at helping organizations navigate growth, identify areas of opportunity, optimize processes, and enhance organizational practices. My certifications, including SHRM-CP, Recruiting & Talent Acquisition, Women’s Entrepreneurship & Leadership, and the Essentials of Non-Profit Governance and expertise in talent and organizational strategy, positions me as a strategic partner for mission-driven organizations looking to enhance operational and cultural effectiveness.

With a passion for empowering underrepresented communities and creating inclusive environments, my experience makes me an asset to nonprofit boards aiming to strengthen their talent strategy and governance to drive positive, lasting change.
