I have been with DU since 2014, and throughout my journey, I've had the privilege of taking on various roles, including Enrollment Manager, Benefits Specialist, and HR Partner. Currently, I am honored to serve as the Director of Talent Acquisition and Development which was strategically crafted to unite our Recruiting and People Development functions,

As an HR professional, my goal has always been to manage the full talent lifecycle—from hire to retire. This role allows me to bring that vision to life. I truly believe in the power of helping others find fulfillment in their careers, and I am excited to continue building that sense of purpose into every stage of the employee experience.
