She has served as an ATD board member, contributed content for LinkedIn, and is an active voice in several Talent and Development communities.

Why URfriendinHR?
Because sometimes the clearest insight comes wrapped in a little sarcasm and an unexpected truth... and a career in HR/OD, Learning, and Project Management has taught her that professional growth isn’t always tidy, and it rarely shows up in a neat little box labeled “training.”
The URfriendinHR experiment pairs bite-sized workplace truths with reflection and advice drawn from the real world; the messy, meeting-filled, make-it-up-as-you-go one we actually live in. In each post you’ll get:
-A moment of wit
-A moment of wisdom (I hope)
-And maybe a new way to think about how we show up and lead at work.
Because growth doesn’t require perfection. Just perspective.
