What’s a misconception people have about what you do for a living?

People sometimes think working in Human Resources or People & Culture is all fun and games, but there is a lot more to it. In my role, I work closely with business leaders and field leaders to understand people priorities, develop people plans, and implement HR strategies that support the company’s goals. A lot of that work comes down to building relationships and establishing trust with both leaders and employees.

Was there a moment at EDA, big or small, that made you feel like you were in the right place?

I had that feeling as soon as I received my job offer. I had a great interview experience, and it truly felt like EDA was going to be my home. Getting the verbal offer over the phone from Sarah Browning made it feel even more special.
