Ms. Active Army HR

I am an adaptive and flexible leader, able to synthesize and communicate complex information. In my 13 years as an Army officer, I have gained considerable experience preparing and briefing high-level decision-makers, including General Officers and Members of Congress, and executing high-visibility assignments with minimal guidance or oversight. My experiences as a HR director for an organization of 4,600 personnel, Army instructor, and company commander taught me the unparalleled value of teamwork and mentorship, and the importance of strong, decisive leadership. I’ve been consistently evaluated as the top 5% performer in every position I’ve held and selected for additional responsibilities outside my professional scope. In my current position as Senior HR Director for a Brigade Combat Team of over 4,600 personnel, I restyled delivery, tracking, and execution of readiness metrics, bringing ranking from 25th to 1st of 37 similar units. I was selected by over 30 peers to command the brigade rear-detachment element of over 1,000 personnel for 2 months, receiving accolades from multiple General Officers for superior leadership during COVID pandemic. Unique in my military career, I was 1 of 20 Active Duty Army Officers selected to serve as Defense Fellow to the US House of Representatives. This opportunity allowed me to work with other government agencies, military services, and allied and partner nations, increasing my understanding of the security landscape from multiple perspectives. I served one year in the office of a Member of Congress, where I drafted legislation, prepared floor speeches and multiple hearing packets, and communicated complex DoD information and problems to the Congresswoman. During the two year utilization, my primary duty was to work with my 57 assigned Congressional offices and dozens of committee professional staff members in the House ofRepresentatives, to provide decision-makers timely and accurate information on Army programs and policies that directly affected defense legislation. Additionally, I planned, organized and executed over a dozen multifaceted House Member and Staff trips across the US and internationally to further Member and staff understanding of the Army, DoD, and US security policy, and served as OIC for several high-profile events on behalf of the Secretary and Chief of Staff of the Army. In addition to those schools listed, in June of 2018, I participated the UC-Berkley Strategic Broadening Seminar Program. This experience increased my understanding of challenges facing the current and future force, and facilitated interaction with academia, technology, business, and community leaders to discuss the importance of agility, acceptance of failure, velocity of developing ideas and inclusiveness to maximize the potential of a community. I am pursuing an MBA to gain insight into non-military leadership styles and strengthen my skills and in analytical analysis and solution development.
