With almost 20 years of proven results in Human Resources and Marketing in a variety of settings (corporate, not-for-profit, union, and international), I have the skills to get your project done on time, within budgetary restraints, and at or above your expectations. I have assisted numerous businesses with start-up activities, including business plan writing, research, website creation, corporation filing, federal tax ID, logos, advertising, recruiting/staffing, and new location improvement. My Human Resources experience includes recruiting and staffing, staff development and training, implementation of policies and procedures, creation of manuals and documentation, employee relations, and assisting companies with change management (large recruitment activities, downsizing, relocation, etc). My efforts have resulted in reduced recruiting expenses, improved retention rate, and increased employee morale and productivity. I have also assisted small and medium sized businesses with a variety of Marketing efforts, including website development, logo creation, brochures, business cards, and marketing campaigns. My Marketing expertise lies in creating big returns with small budgets. I have provided companies with unified branding and recognition, optimized internet presence, social media marketing, advertising, and e-marketing activities.
