Timeless Principles. Tomorrow’s Workforce
Business Goals Meet Human Potential
I believe the best organizations are built where business goals and human potential intersect. For over 20 years, I’ve helped leaders see HR not as a back-office function but as a driver of growth, culture, and resilience.My career spans Fortune 500s, private equity, banking, consulting, and startups—giving me a front-row seat to how organizations adapt, scale, and lead through change. Along the way, I’ve advised leaders in 20+ states on complex employment law, guided executives through cultural shifts, and supported distributed teams through transformation.
Today, I serve as VP of Human Resources for Heritage Bank of Nevada and as Founder of Synera HR, where I coach executives and teams to lead with authenticity, clarity, and confidence.
Keynote Speaking: Unboxed Leadership
Unboxed: Breaking Free From People Pleasing
- Sacrificing your authentic self to keep the peace
- Struggling to set boundaries
- Experiencing burnout that impacts mental & physical health
- Seeing personal relationships suffer as a result
Authentic leadership requires more than skill — it requires courage. In Unboxed, I share stories, strategies, and tools to help leaders release people-pleasing habits, reclaim their voice, and build healthier, more authentic relationships at work and beyond.
