...I had the privilege of working with Gayle for four years while with Orthopedic ONE, where she was an integral member of our human resources department.

Gayle takes her career very seriously and is always concerned about performing the best job possible. During our time working together, Gayle continued her education and applied her skills to the benefit of the company. Aside from her regular responsibilities, she took the initiative to develop a leadership training program for our managers, was involved with improving our orientation and onboarding processes, and improved many of the procedures and processes related to human resources and payroll.

In addition to being very good at what she does, and probably more importantly, Gayle is a tremendous person. She and I had a very good relationship, and I enjoyed talking with her while hearing her perspective on any number of topics. She is very intelligent and is not hesitant to question something that she feels can be done better.

I have no doubt that Gayle will do an outstanding job for you.

To know her is to love her! Her level of competency in HR and Social Work mixed with her momminess (made-up word) makes her the perfect match for anyone looking to reenter the workforce.

mom

3 kids & a husband

hr professional

Lover of coffee, wine, & The Golden Girls (not in any particular order). Currently teaching myself how to crochet. Yes, I am actually 80 years old at heart.

It takes a lot to be a mom.

The ability to manage the chaos that is taking care of little humans who have underdeveloped brains & no fear is ridiculously challenging.

Because moms make it look easy, oftentimes the skill level we have is not fully understood or appreciated.

after having my first baby, I had a recruiter ask me if I would be able to do the job since I should be preoccupied with my family.

  1. eww

  2. totally illegal

  3. the bias is real

Since that time, I’ve successfully reentered the workforce to continue my career in HR by leveraging my momness (pretty sure this isn’t a word) & have had twins (surprise).

my goal: use my hr expertise to help moms understand how their mom skills are marketable skills for their career.
