Experienced, strategic Human Resources leader. Passionate DEI advocate. Self-expression, self-identification, and inclusion are important values of mine. One way to put these values into practice is to share personal gender pronouns. My name is Sarah and I use she, her, hers pronouns. What pronouns do you use?

I support employees to navigate HR processes in the workplace. This could be help to understand something like a disciplinary or performance management issue. I help to explain the legislation that underpins the process and try to unpick whether the employer is acting legally. I also help the employee to consider the best route through (even where the employer is acting within the legislation). I act as an advocate and support and debrief with the employee from the sidelines. Sometimes employees need help to work through an interpersonal problem e.g. with a manager or peer, or just need HR coaching and advice for generally getting through the current corporate landscape.

I am an experienced, hands-on Human Resources professional dedicated to connecting humans to the organization's mission, vision, and values while still having fun.
