Head of Social Work

I’ve spent my career working alongside organizations to help them build strong, motivated teams and overcome HR challenges. With a Doctorate in Industrial and Organizational Psychology, I’ve honed a deep understanding of human behavior, talent management, and workplace dynamics. These areas have become the foundation of everything I do.

Before starting K-Workforce, I worked in various HR and consulting roles, each one sharpening my ability to navigate difficult situations, whether it was managing employee performance, creating leadership programs, or ensuring legal compliance. Over time, I realized there was a need for a more practical, hands-on approach to HR, one that balances organizational needs with the well-being of employees. That’s when K-Workforce was born.

At K-Workforce, I work directly with businesses to streamline HR operations, improve team dynamics, and solve complex people challenges. Whether it’s handling organizational change, improving employee engagement, or building solid performance management systems, my goal is simple: help businesses run smoothly and allow their teams to thrive.

If you’re looking for support with your HR strategies or just want to chat about improving workplace culture, I’d love to connect.

A year end is neither an ending nor a beginning.
It is a going on.

The calendar changes, but wisdom does not reset. 

What this year gave you clarity, discomfort, hard-earned insight is not meant to be archived. It is meant to inform how you lead next.

Next year does not require more urgency.
It requires more discernment.

✔️ Knowing when to act and when to pause
✔️ Listening more carefully to what systems and people are telling you
✔️ Choosing progress over perfection
✔️ Leading with steadiness when certainty is unavailable

Growth is rarely dramatic. It is cumulative.

As we move forward, may we lead with fewer assumptions, clearer intent, and deeper respect for the human side of work.
