Hi! I’m Shay.

I have over a decade’s experience building and shaping companies and communities through a variety of roles. I am community-driven, pragmatic, and won’t shy away from tackling the most difficult company issues. I believe in providing real, usable solutions for companies that desire to be people-centered. I am nimble, results-oriented, and believe that understanding an organization deeply helps build the best tools.

I’ve spent the better part of five years building and guiding people operations strategies and programs at a scaling startup. My core focus has been building a department from the ground up with a focus on sustainable growth and equitable practices. In that time, the company has grown from 10 people to 70 people, and has become an award-winning workplace culture.

Some of the key areas of expertise that I hold include:

  • Partnering with Executive Teams

  • Strategy

  • Equitable Hiring Practices

  • Program Development

  • Policy and Process Development

  • Recruitment

  • Handbook Development

  • People Operations Audit

  • Total Compensation

  • Performance

  • Payroll & Benefits

  • Compliance and Risk

  • Grant Writing

I’ve also coached, mentored, and volunteered my expertise to a number of companies looking to focus their People Operations efforts and grow great businesses.

I can’t wait to serve you and your teams!
