I design and execute talent strategies with a clear focus on speed, quality, and long-term fit. My approach to executive and high-impact hiring has reduced time-to-fill by 35% and increased retention by 20% across regions, ensuring talent decisions directly support business goals.
Leadership Development Advocate
I believe leadership development should be practical, measurable, and embedded in daily behaviors. I design and deliver programs that support both people leaders and individual contributors, including the custom Iris Telehealth Dynamic Leader Program and Medical Group onboarding initiatives.
These programs strengthened leadership effectiveness, improved skill recognition, and created clearer expectations for growth, helping leaders and teams apply what they learn in ways that meaningfully impact performance and engagement.

I treat onboarding as a customized experience for each new hire, not an administrative task. By standardizing and continuously improving onboarding experiences, I’ve supported stronger early engagement, smoother transitions, and improved long-term retention, which is particularly needed in fast-paced environments.
Strategic Partnership, Not HR Support
I partner closely with all levels of leaders to align people strategies with business priorities. My work helps leaders navigate change, strengthen engagement, and build cultures where accountability, collaboration, and performance coexist.
Challenge - Action - Result
Talent Acquisition & Recruitment Strategy
- Challenge: High turnover rates, long time-to-fill, and extended ramp-up time across multiple departments.
- Action: I redesigned recruitment strategy using market data, role clarity, and success profiles to attract higher-quality candidates faster. This included building and hiring the Strategic Partnerships Directors team and shifting Iris’s go-to-market hiring approach from a gatekeeper model to a top-down sales partnership strategy aligned to business growth.
- Result:
- Reduced time-to-fill by 35%
- Increased retention by 20% across key regions
- Built a sustainable pipeline of high-caliber talent for future growth
Leadership Development Programs
- Challenge: People leaders needed stronger development support, clearer expectations, and greater engagement to effectively lead teams through growth and change.
- Action: I designed and launched the custom Dynamic Leader Program, Medical Group Onboarding, and facilitated targeted Lunch & Learn series for Directors and senior leaders. Programs focused on practical leadership behaviors, skill recognition, and building community, not theory.
- Result:

Corporate Onboarding & Integration
- Challenge: Employee turnover and disengagement during transition periods were impacting early performance and long-term retention, particularly during periods of growth or acquisition.
- Action: I designed and executed Iris’s corporate onboarding strategy, creating a streamlined, role-aligned onboarding experience that integrated training, mentorship, and structured goal-setting. By clarifying ownership and aligning expectations early, I reduced friction and accelerated time to productivity for new hires.

Joint Commission (TJC) Accreditation
- Challenge: Iris Telehealth needed to prepare more than 475 behavioral health providers for Joint Commission (TJC) Accreditation under tight deadlines, requiring consistent training completion and self-audit evaluations across multiple roles amid data inconsistencies and varying provider engagement.
- Action: I led the initiative by designing and launching provider-specific training programs in SmarterU, building a centralized, real-time tracking system to monitor completion, identify discrepancies, and surface risks early. I partnered closely with Clinical, Operations, and People teams to align workflows, establish accountability, and simplify complex accreditation requirements through clear guides, templates, and communications.
- Result:
- Achieved over 90% provider compliance with required training and evaluations
- Successfully achieved reaccreditation for another three years (2026-2029)
- Embedded compliance into onboarding and ongoing education, supporting a sustainable culture of quality and accountability
Provider Onboarding & Integration
- Challenge: Rapid organizational growth led to fragmented provider onboarding experiences across departments, resulting in duplicated efforts, inconsistent training, and gaps in readiness for patient care.
- Action: I partnered cross-functionally to design and implement a centralized Provider Onboarding program within SmarterU. This included building structured learning pathways, integrating compliance and clinical training, and embedding role-specific resources and knowledge checks. I aligned stakeholders across Clinical, Operations, and People teams to ensure accuracy, consistency, and scalability while establishing feedback loops for continuous improvement.
