ABOUT OUR GUEST:

I am a devoted mother to three incredible children aged 15, 11, and 10, residing in my hometown, Redding, CA. Over the past 11 years, I've cherished a happy marriage and completed our family with two lovely dogs, Bella the corgi, and Blaze the German shepherd mix.

Five years ago, I ventured into entrepreneurship, founding Clarity HR Consulting, drawing on my 14 years of management experience. My passion lies in aiding small and medium-sized businesses, valuing employees as invaluable assets. When not working, my family and I enjoy quality time together, exercising, reading, experimenting with homebrews, and traveling. I'm a dedicated Dodgers fan and previously worked as a wedding planner before finding my true calling in HR.

I firmly believe in effective communication, simplifying labor laws, and fostering positive interactions between employers and employees. HR, to me, means being a coach and mentor, not just a watchdog. My goal is to assist businesses proactively, positively impacting their operations and bottom line. In everything I do, whether guiding businesses through HR complexities, spending time with family, supporting the Dodgers, or exploring new places, I live with passion and purpose, celebrating thriving businesses and meaningful connections.
