THE ART OF LEADERSHIP

Early in my life I discovered my passion for helping everyone around me be better, and that has stayed my passion and focus all of these years later. I achieved my first management position while I was still in high school because the company saw maturity in me for my age and my drive to not only make myself great, but also everyone else around me. I spent about five years gaining management experience in the entertainment type industry as a manager before I decided it was time to go to college. During my time as a full-time student, I continued to work in various industries from construction to leasing apartments to the financial industry.I received a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration with a major in Management and minor in Economics from Oklahoma State University. From there I managed banks for about fours years before I was recruited over to the Human Resource side of the business. I have now been in the Human Resources field since 2007. I completed my MBA at Oklahoma State University in 2010 and achieved my Senior Professional in Human Resources (SPHR) in 2011, and achieved my SHRM-SCP in 2015. In my current role, I am the Regional Manager of Human Resources, and I manage five different locations throughout the United States. I also teach HR and management classes at a university in Tulsa, Oklahoma as an adjunct professor. I have served on the Board of Directors for the Tulsa Area Human Resource Association (TAHRA) since 2011, and I was the 2013 President. I have also been a member of the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) since 2011.I really enjoy coaching and training to help everyone I can succeed in whatever they do.
