As the Operations General Manager of Human Resources at the City of Detroit, I support the strategic direction and execution of all human capital initiatives for over 9,000 employees. With more than 20 years of public service experience, I have developed and implemented effective policies, programs, and practices that foster a culture of engagement, inclusion, and performance across the organization. I am also a human capital strategist and love activist who helps people and organizations find fulfillment through work that they enjoy doing every day. I am the author of "The Gratefulness Journey Everyday: What Are You Doing in the Next 30 Days to Transform Your Life?", a book that inspires readers to embrace gratitude and passion in their personal and professional lives. I am also a certified coach, an international speaker, and a professional priest to the C-Suite who shares my insights and wisdom on various platforms and media outlets. My goal is to be an agent of change in society by connecting people with their passions.
