What an exciting time to join Growbucks FI. I am proud to be a contributor and share my wisdom with others. As this is new for me as well, it is hard to know just where to begin. My plan is to write a series for job seekers. But before I dive into a series, let’s get to know me and save the series for next time (maybe).
People are often surprised that I find technology pairs well with Human Resources. From early on in my career I had experiences with HR and felt called to be part of HR. I spent time reviewing laws, policies and other things to support my parents and deal with my own HR interactions, such as when I had to go on FMLA.
I have served on numerous committees including a staff recognition committee before I was even working in Human Resources.
From my GrowbucksFI bio:

My first tip for anyone:
There are a lot of neigh sayers, don’t let them be a judge of who they think you can be; only you know who you can be and what you can do. Believe in yourself and prove the neigh sayers wrong! Believing in yourself leads to new opportunities and that is what makes us grow with skill, confidence and more opportunities.
