Director of People and Culture
I am thrilled to be joining Rhino Foods as the Director of People and Culture. I feel privileged to be leading a team that is part of a company deeply committed to enhancing the experience of our employees on a daily basis. Rhino’s reputation in the community as a leader and innovator of the employee experience is what originally caught my attention and encouraged me to join on to this amazing community. What I have learned is that the company’s commitment to the people who are here doing the work every day extends beyond their purpose and values and is deeply rooted in the day-to-day operations. This type of commitment inspires me as a leader to do the work that we do.
Prior arriving at Rhino Foods, I served as principal of a local high school. Making this transition has seemed like a natural fit for my experience in cultivating community, just in a different setting. I feel fortunate to remain working within the greater Burlington community and engaging in work that is focused on the experience of our employees. As a Director I hope to utilize my own skills, training, and expertise in building community and connection to enhance the experience of our Rhino employees.
When I am not at work you can find me outside and spending time with my children, spouse, and dog, hanging with family and friends, or trying new recipes to share with others.
