Youth In Need

I’ve been working as an independent consultant since 1998. For more than 20 years, I have been improving human resources communications: first for a Fortune 500 company, then as a practice leader in a national human resources consulting firm. I have degrees in education and a master’s degree in business.

My career includes jobs as HR specialist, benefits manager, HR director, and communications practice leader. I formed the consulting firm’s first HR compliance consulting practice.

Most often, clients hire me to expand the capabilities of their existing HR group. When desirable, I can tap into my network of remarkable graphic designers, image and audio production pros as well as healthcare, compensation and OD consultants to offer more extensive service.

I enjoy being a part of a team that wants to have a focused, collaborative and trustworthy work environment. The work that I’ve been associated with has received more than 50 local, regional and national awards for communications excellence. I am a recipient SHRM’s award for creative applications in human resources.

My communications work is diverse and includes documentary film production, business communications and creative writing. My film work has been recognized with two Emmy Awards and a Ciné Golden Eagle Award. At all times you’ll find me involved with at least one unique project intended to broaden minds and stretch the imagination.

Youth In Need, a nonprofit organization that serves more than 10,000 Missourians each year, is my favorite charity.

Do you have a business or other communications project that could use my help? (JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address)
