This was my first real step into the professional world—and it left a concrete, beautiful foundation that still grounds me today. Working under Diamond Berry, I saw how small decisions ripple up. Every action, every number, every missed detail had real consequences across the company. I developed a deep appreciation for systems, structure, and accountability. I saw how everything matters—and I’ve never forgotten it.
This is where I first experienced managing people and processes at scale. Leading a team of 20+ interns taught me how to set expectations clearly, provide coaching, and keep projects on track. I learned how to turn scattered efforts into a consistent recruiting process—improving onboarding, communication, and accountability across the team. GAOTek showed me that leadership isn’t about titles, it’s about creating clarity so others can succeed.
I learned the value of detail and consistency in a complex system. Supporting the HR Employee Relations team meant tracking over 1,000 corrective action cases, analyzing trends, and ensuring compliance across multiple hospitals. It taught me how small errors ripple into big consequences, and how proactive communication can prevent issues before they grow. This experience gave me an appreciation for combining data with people-focused solutions.
At Linking Minds, I coordinated outreach campaigns across hundreds of events and supported partnerships with national retailers. I interviewed and onboarded new hires, created simple workflow tools, and coached teammates—contributing to stronger performance and smoother execution. This role taught me how consistency, clarity, and small process improvements can scale into lasting results.
