Who I Am

Your People & Culture Partner

I'm Jen — an HR leader with 25 years of experience who left Corporate America to do things differently. I partner with founders and leadership teams to build workplaces where people genuinely thrive, not just survive.

My approach is grounded in empathy, strategic thinking, and radical honesty. I don't believe in one-size-fits-all HR playbooks. I believe in listening deeply, understanding your unique culture, and building systems that reflect who you actually are — and who you want to become.

Who I Work With

Built for Companies That Care About Their People

I partner with organizations that understand their people are their greatest asset — and want to treat them that way.

Growth-Stage Companies

Companies scaling from $5M–$100M that need strategic people leadership without a full-time hire.

Founder-Led Organizations

Founders wearing too many hats who need a trusted HR partner to take the people side off their plate.

Women-Owned Businesses

Women entrepreneurs building inclusive, empowering workplaces that reflect their values.

Companies in Transition

Organizations navigating cultural shifts, rapid growth, or complex people challenges.
