I am an experienced HR Professional, with over 20 years experience across a number of industries, such as apparel, marketing, advertising, marketing and animation production. I have spent much of my career in dynamic, entrepreneurial and creatively based organizations with unique and defined cultures. As an HR professional, I am able to direct a focused and organized HR function with best practices, complemented by an intuitive and sensitive approach to managing in a high energy and product focused endeavour. I have recruited at all levels from C-level to Receptionist, from Art Director to Help Desk. Rounding out my unique skill set is an understanding and belief in a strong brand, both corporate and employer. I have proven generalist expertise in employee relations, policy development, recruiting, management support/coaching, and employee development. Best of all, I am Canadian, which means I'm polite and nice, and will make you chuckle with my (very faint) Canadian accent. Core Competencies: Business acumen, relationship/consensus building, adaptability to change, approachability, decisiveness, humor, mentorship, coaching and creativity. .
