Experience
I spent nine years practicing law as an employment attorney and twelve years in human resources leadership before leaving the corporate world to follow my passion for teaching. In private practice, I represented large manufacturers, fast food restaurants, a large national craft retailer and a multi-state health care system. As in-house counsel and as an HR leader, I worked with the largest health care provider and one of the largest employers in the state. I ended my career as the Chief Experience and Talent Officer and Vice-President for Human Resources and Community Wellness. In that time, I partnered with, served in leadership capacities for and provided presentations to many national HR associations including World at Work, the World Congress and ASHHRA (the hospital affiliate of SHRM).
