HR support for growing companies, without the full-time hire.
A fixed number of HR hours each month for handbooks, leave and compliance questions, onboarding, and manager coaching, with a response time you can count on.
You have outgrown payroll software and a good office manager, but you are not ready for a full-time HR hire. People questions keep landing on your desk, and you want them handled correctly.
I work best with healthcare, pharmacy, construction, and professional services firms, and with teams spread across more than one state.
Handbooks and policies that match how you actually operate
Leave, accommodation, and compliance questions, answered in plain language
Onboarding and offboarding that are consistent every time
Coaching for managers on documentation and difficult conversations
Help getting more out of your HR, payroll, and hiring systems, such as BambooHR, Paycom, Paylocity, Paychex, ADP, Workday, Rippling, Insperity, or Greenhouse

I have handled leave and compliance across Arizona, California, Florida, New York, Texas, and Washington, and I started my career as a U.S. Army operations NCOIC and HR professional.
