Career Highlights
International and New Market Expansion for the Canadian and Puerto Rican Market. Conducted
investigation of Human Resource standards, State laws and policies for international locations. = Led the
recruitment and training of Regional, District and Store teams.

strong relationships with corporate partners and business leaders. Implemented yearly ranking to identify
top talent. Able to influence leadership to make decisions in the best interest of the organization and
employees.
Reduced liability during downsizing by acting in a role of intermediary to elevate inequity of vacation
pay distribution. The company incorrectly paid too many vacation hours to employees and tried to retract
payment. After thorough investigatory work, 100% of employees were eligible to keep the payout due to
non-sufficient record keeping on behalf of the company.

fostering a team environment, reduction of employee relations issues, and increasing morale.

Store Competencies tool to support District and Regional Managers assess, coach, and restructure their
teams equitably. The tool offered focused weekly and monthly feedback, was used in all performance
