HR Consultant
Charlottesville, VA
With more than 15 years of experience in Human Resources, I bring a practical, ministry-informed perspective to leadership, organizational effectiveness, and caring for people well. My background includes serving as the first HR Director of a (still) growing church, where I established and led the HR function, as well as consulting with churches and ministries of various sizes and denominations. This combination of internal HR leadership and consulting experience has given me a broad understanding of the challenges organizations face in managing people, developing leaders, and maintaining healthy workplace practices.
As the founder of 818 People Co., I partner with churches and faith-based organizations to strengthen HR practices, equip leaders, and navigate complex personnel matters. My expertise spans employee relations, compliance, organizational structure, and workplace culture, with a broader emphasis on leadership, accountability, and the employee experience. Whether addressing technical HR matters or broader organizational challenges, my approach reflects a commitment to Maximize People. Minimize Risk. Glorify God.
