Hi! I'm Nicole👩🏻🦰👋
I’m a mission-driven HR professional passionate about creating inclusive cultures where everyone feels valued. When employees feel a sense of belonging, I believe they’re more engaged, innovative, and committed, leading to more substantial business outcomes.
My expertise lies in employee relations, fostering equitable opportunities, and performance management. I’m a strategic partner who develops and implements policies that drive organizational success and employee growth. I also coach managers to be impeccable with their words and inspire their teams to achieve their best. As a certified mediator, I navigate complex employee relations issues with empathy and a data-driven approach, always focused on fostering positive outcomes and trust.
I’m committed to fairness, access, inclusion, and representation in everything I do—whether it’s shaping organizational culture, developing leadership, or optimizing the employee lifecycle. These principles guide my work and personal life, aligning with the ideas in The Soul of Discipline by Kim John Payne. Like his approach to parenting, I believe in setting clear expectations, nurturing growth, and providing guidance while empowering individuals to chart their own paths. The parallels between parenting and leadership are clear to me.
As a parent, I’m reminded daily of the power of collaboration, kindness, empathy, and creativity. These values shape my leadership style at work, where I champion initiatives that promote equitable opportunities and create safe spaces where everyone belongs—while also setting an example for my family and upholding our core values.
