My Story

I didn’t take the traditional path into HR — and honestly, that’s my superpower. I started my career studying physical therapy, which taught me how people move, think, and respond under pressure. And once upon a time, I spent a few years as a makeup artist, where I learned how to connect with people quickly, read their energy, and make them feel seen. Add in a decade-plus of Operations Management and Senior HR leadership across beauty, food service, construction, and retail… and you get someone who truly understands people from every angle.

​

Lumina HR Studio was born when I realized how many business owners and CEOs genuinely care about their teams but don’t always have the time, tools, or support to manage HR with confidence. I wanted to change that — with a little more heart, a lot more clarity, and a whole lot of fun.

​

Today, I help leaders see their blind spots, simplify messy challenges, and build people strategies that actually work. No super technical jargon. No fluff. Just practical, human-centered guidance that makes tough moments feel easier.

​

And when I’m not partnering with clients? I’m mentoring future HR pros, working with my community service group, and traveling to watch my favorite sports teams playing in cool cities.

At Lumina, we make people strategy feel lighter — and your business shine brighter.
