I have had the pleasure of working with Jennifer in two different capacities. First, she was the Human Resources Director for our organization and supported me as an employee. She was often the person I would go to when I had questions about benefits or policies and she was always responsive, knowledgeable and empathetic. I then got the opportunity to work for her when she became my manager when I joined the Human Resources team. Jennifer amplified the power of empathy that she so often exhibited in my previous experiences with her. I knew that as an HR Generalist under her leadership that I was representing our department and human experience was often at the forefront of all our decisions. As my manager, Jennifer was patient, motivating, and encouraging. She was always available for any question I had and is a wealth of knowledge. Under her guidance I was able to learn a great deal of the HR landscape in a condensed period of time. She is amazingly organized and is able to seamlessly shift from one urgent priority to the next all while remaining cool and calm. Jennifer is also a caring, authentic person and I knew the respect she gave me, she extended to everyone. Jennifer would be a wonderful addition to any organization and her value cannot be stated in one paragraph.

Jennifer and I worked together for over 20 years at HMR. Jennifer and her team were responsible for all HR functional areas—talent management, employee relations, comp/employee benefits, training/development, HRIS and payroll, compliance and workplace safety. I worked on several high-profile projects with Jennifer including: (a) due diligence requirements for 2 separate acquisitions, (b) 401k retirement plan transition (c) ADP Time and Attendance solution, (d) new compensation practices and performance review system, (e) healthcare plan redesigns (f) corporate security/privacy policies and best practices (g) acquisition integration deliverables and (h) unfortunately, 3 reduction-in-force decisions. Jennifer was organized with keen ability to juggle details while keeping an eye on big picture goals. She takes initiative, follows through on commitments and has strong interpersonal skills that allow her to build relationships and communicate effectively. She consistently demonstrates discipline, focus and prioritization to ensure necessary direction, continuity, risk management and schedule adherence. One of the most crucial HR responsibilities is to maintain confidentiality—everything from employee sensitive data/information to management decisions and business strategies. Jennifer understands who needs to know what, maintains strict confidentiality boundaries, and recognizes the importance of this HR responsibility. Jennifer fervently practices objective listening, walks in the employees’ shoes, speaks candidly about strengths or development areas and advocates for empathetic communication with an end goal of employee retention. She is able to look at issues from multiple angles, with an exceptional ability to see the employees’ point of view/struggle, but also understand HMR’s constraints or a manager’s struggle. She has a great balance between serving management and employees, which takes confidence, diplomacy and expert communication skills. Jennifer recognizes that HR is a customer service role, in which managers and employees are your customers. She embraces an open-door policy and sets high standards for access. She models healthy behaviors of boundary setting for access and work hours, conveys messages that communicate her genuine empathy, and walks the talk of self-care best practices. It was a pleasure to partner with Jennifer during our 20+ year working relationship! I couldn’t have fulfilled my responsibilities as Chief Operating Officer without her support and candid counsel. She consistently helped to inform decisions by bringing her expertise on topics such as workforce planning, talent management, and employee engagement—helping me to stay more connected to employees. She is a seasoned and highly competent HR professional who has earned her seat at the table.
