Bio:
As Director of Global Talent Acquisition and Global Talent Management at Procter & Gamble, I lead the global strategies for pre-hire selection (e.g., assessments, interviews) and employee talent planning (e.g., pipeline health, internal mobility, retention). I’m also an adjunct professor at UC Blue Ash, Volunteer Chair for Lighthouse Youth & Family Services, and SIOP Visibility Committee Chair.
Over the last 15 years, I’ve collected a wide-range of I-O practitioner experience. As an external consultant, I served public, private, government, and non-profit clients. As an internal practitioner, I’ve worked on employee engagement, training, performance management, and selection. Most recently, I led the development of our first global end-to-end talent acquisition strategy (i.e., employer brand, systems & technology, selection, and go-to-market) for manufacturing talent. While I am a practitioner at my core, I embody the science-practitioner model through continued engagement in teaching, research, and publishing.
I’ve served on several SIOP committees, including International Affairs, Electronic Communications, Professional Practice, and Visibility. As Chair for the Visibility Committee, I restructured the committee to align with our strategic goals, improved our operating model to increase volunteer engagement, and built strong partnerships with SIOP Staff and relevant committees.
My Ph.D. and M.S. are from the University of Central Florida, and my B.S. in Business Management and B.A. in Psychology are from the University of South Florida (Go Bulls!). When I need an escape from the busy life I’ve created, I turn to Caribbean music, books (psych thrillers and historical fiction), DIY projects, and travel.
Goals Statement:
I envision SIOP as a catalyst for positive change, empowering people to navigate a rapidly changing world. If elected, I’d create systemic impact through three priorities aligned with our Strategic Goals.
- Equip Practitioners with Relevant Resources: Aspiring and current practitioners need access to tailored resources that support them in their careers and their work. These resources should highlight the latest I-O science and practical solutions.
- Foster Meaningful Collaborations: To enable real-world change, I would lean on partnerships. For example, there’s a need to amplify academic work to further bridge the gap between research and practice, and a need to break down silos within SIOP by fostering more collaboration among committees.
- Create an Inclusive and Agile Environment: The value of SIOP lies in its members. I am committed to fostering an empowering atmosphere that respects our members and volunteers, fully embedding Strategic Goal 2 into all we do.
My action plan would be co-created with the committees, emphasizing focus, intentionality, and a bit of fun. I’d create enough structure to drive clarity while allowing space for play and experimentation. Each initiative would serve a meaningful purpose aligned with our Strategic Plan. I believe in the value of failing (and learning) fast, so I’d encourage an iterative approach. I’d foster curiosity and challenge assumptions to innovate where it matters. In I-O and SIOP, there’s ample opportunity to blend reliable solutions with innovative practices, building on the strong foundation laid by previous leaders.
