I have worked for over 20 years to help leaders and employees improve their performance.  I currently work for Insperity in McLean, Virginia as a Performance Specialist.  In this position I consult with small and mid-sized business owners to address gaps in workplace performance that impact the organization’s objectives.  I am also a coach and mentor for new hires in the department and a member of Insperity’s Process Improvement team for Client Training & Development.

Prior to joining Insperity, I led the implementation of a nationwide development program for mid-level managers and designed professional development programs for executives and high potential managers at a Fortune 500 company.  My experience also includes HR Manager for a mid-sized telecommunications company, university instructor and consultant.

I have a Bachelor of Arts in Anthropology from Wayne State University, a Master of Arts in Human Resources Development from Marymount University, and am a certified Senior Professional in Human Resources (SPHR). I am an active member of the American Society of Training & Development (ASTD) and a past President of the Northern Virginia chapter of SHRM.

In my spare time I like to be outdoors gardening and bicycling. I also like spending time with my family, which includes my husband, Frank, and my two grown children, Michael and Sarah. Frank and I enjoy taking a two week bicycling tour of the Netherlands in the summer, which we have done every year for the past 15 years. In our opinion, Holland is made for bicycles!
