About Chrysalis HR

I believe in the transformative power inherent in every individual. This philosophy underscores my approach to guiding others. I see beyond surface limitations, recognizing the vast reservoirs of talent and capability within each person.

Within the chrysalis, a powerful transformation occurs…one that could not have been imagined in advance. This occurs in people as well, when someone believes in you and recognizes something that you don’t yet see.

My role is to facilitate your journey of self-discovery and growth.

Throughout my career, I had 3 different mentors who saw potential in me that I didn’t know I had. Their belief in me propelled my growth and success. Now, I am committed to paying it forward by offering others the same transformative opportunities.

As an HR consultant and executive coach, I aspire to empower others to surpass their own expectations and unlock their unique potential.

In my ideal world, all people have the opportunity to grow to their full potential, working in organizations whose leaders are committed to creating a thriving, inclusive, equitable, and accessible future for everyone.

  • I believe that everyone deserves to be treated fairly and with dignity and respect.

    Creating and nurturing workplaces that are diverse, equitable, inclusive and accessible benefits everyone.

    • Equity means providing fair treatment, access, opportunity, and advancement for all individuals, while actively working to identify and dismantle the barriers that have historically impeded the full participation of certain groups.

    • This process requires us to acknowledge, confront, and address historical and systemic inequalities, ensuring that personal or social circumstances -- such as race, gender, identity, orientation, age, ability, spiritual/religious beliefs, or socio-economic status -- do not obstruct anyone’s potential.

  • I support and deeply appreciate the vital work that nonprofit organizations provide in our communities. I currently serve on the Inclusion, Diversity, Equity & Access (IDEA) committee of the Association of Fundraising Professionals - WNC Chapter.

    Throughout my career, my contributions to volunteer service include work with women’s shelters, heritage camps for adoptive families, Girl Scouts, and local, regional, and national HR professional organizations.

    Since moving to Asheville in 2013, I’ve served on the boards of Building Bridges of Asheville, Leadership Asheville, Hanger Hall School, WNC Diversity Engagement Coalition, and the Celebration Singers of Asheville. In addition to my volunteer work, I served as Interim Chief Human Resources Officer at Dogwood Health Trust in 2020-21.

  • Over the course of my career, I’ve found HR work exciting and rewarding. From the impact of nurturing someone’s potential and seeing them become more than they imagined to experiencing the synergy of a team that comes together for a shared purpose – it’s exciting to see possibilities become reality.

    I understand the joys and challenges of working in mission-driven organizations: being strategic and hands-on, working with limited resources, and having a high sense of accountability to those you serve and represent.

    My commitment drives my passion for helping organizations like yours to thrive and make a meaningful difference in the lives of others.

Let’s combine my passion for HR and nurturing the potential in others with your passion and purpose so you and your organization can succeed.
