Executive Bio

My shared passion for charitable giving and Human Resources prompted me to start Childlike Hope, offering assistance, at no cost, to individuals seeking guidance in finding employment or in how to approach conflict resolution at work or in their personal lives.  After 20 plus years working in Human Resources leadership roles, and my recent mentoring partnership with Big Brother Big Sister of Long Island, I am pleased to extend volunteer services that can assist others in their search for peace and success in their lives.  My biggest professional achievement has been receiving consistent feedback that people feel better after speaking with me.  Often times, we just need someone to be there to listen and to offer different perspectives. We spend the majority of our day at work, preparing for work or juggling our personal lives around work.  So when there is a conflict at work, or we're not happy and fulfilled with our job, it's inevitable that we are going to carry that into our personal lives as well.  It is especially difficult when that conflict is with someone in a leadership position that can make decisions impacting our job, pay, schedule, work location, employment status, etc.  On the other side, being in a management position comes with it's own set of challenges as well.  In addition to being responsible for managing operations, you're responsible for leading and motivating employees.  When conflict or difficult situations arise, it can be very challenging, and at times frustrating, depending on your leadership and personality style.  While  I have had offered guidance and support on an individual basis, I am proud to offer my services to local agencies that are dedicated to helping domestic violence survivors as well as disenfranchised and formerly incarcerated individuals.  It is my hope that this assistance positively impacts the trajectory of someone's life, as each conversation does to mine.
