I may be based in Miami, FL, but I operate at the intersection of employee experience and organizational success. 🤝
My work mantra is 'Keep it Human'. I believe in bringing our authentic selves to work. It's okay to be real, make mistakes, show kindness, and share a laugh together all while crushing those OKRs!
I'm currently an HRBP at Halcyon— an early stage cybersecurity startup. I'm building the foundation for scalable people practices while driving culture, performance, and alignment in real time as the business evolves. You can check out more of my previous work experience below.
Leveraging my strong ability to build trust with my stakeholders, I design and implement impactful solutions in performance management, employee relations, and change initiatives. Guided by data and with DEI embedded in every strategy, I collaborate with leaders to creatively integrate the organization’s business objectives with its people strategy, fostering an engaged, supportive, and high-performing culture.
A trusted advisor to 12 tech start-ups, I immersed myself in dynamic ecosystems, collaborating with HR and non-HR leaders to shape People strategies aligned with each company's ethos and objectives.
Partnered with business leaders to craft and implement people-focused strategies, driving overall success. I aligned HR practices with business objectives by establishing scalable processes and prioritizing engagement to cultivate a positive culture.
I led diverse HR initiatives, spanning onboarding, employee lifecycle management, and data accuracy. My payroll precision and compliance knowledge crossed state and international borders.
"I had the pleasure of working with Stephanie at Flex, where I observed firsthand how talented and motivated she is to drive a people-first workplace culture. Stephanie's greatest strengths are her genuine empathy for others and creative problem solving that enable her to succeed in both the People Ops and People Partner (HRBP) areas. She also has amazing hidden talents and put her design and voiceover skills to great use in creating materials and developing training programs for managers and employees at Flex. Stephanie is always anticipating the needs of the business and proactively provides solutions as she stays one step ahead of what employees and managers may need to be successful."
Cont'd: "Stephanie successfully drove various People initiatives in a challenging environment, and consistently went above and beyond to deliver results despite shifting priorities. Some of the projects she worked on included rolling out an engagement platform, implementing a new performance management system and process, developing L&D and compliance training programs, establishing new benefits and policies, and career pathing. Her exemplary work ethic led to a promotion in her first 6 months, which included taking on additional management and mentoring responsibilities within the team. Stephanie is a high achiever who holds herself to a high standard of performance, and any company would be very lucky to have her on their People team!"
"Stephanie and I worked together at PureCars where she moved from a client-facing Software Implementation Manager role into a People Operations role after expressing deep passion for People Operations. She jumped into the role with enthusiasm and absorbed an impressive amount of information in little time across compliance, onboarding, payroll, benefits, employee relations, and more. She then helped build and refine employee training resources, onboarding processes, incredibly complex commissions calculators connected to Salesforce and multiple other disparate sources, and established herself as the go-to HR Manager for any employee questions, concerns, and ideas with little to no guidance."
"During Stephanie’s time with Turnip Talent, she proved herself to be an integral part of our startup as a People Ops Advisor and HR Business Partner. She created a library of tailorable policies, established custom processes and evaluated 40+ HR tools and technologies to create a HR technology package for a large Private Equity client. She built the software scorecards from scratch, led many of the product demos herself, and built relationships with multiple HR and non HR leaders across the Private Equity portfolio to whom she became a trusted advisor on all things "people". She also began building her skills in the Talent Acquisition world by training on sourcing, recruiting, and interviewing. Stephanie is brilliant, genuine, curious, and persistent and will be an incredible addition to any company and team that she joins."
"I had the privilege of working closely with Stephanie during my time at PureCars and I can't praise their contributions enough. Their exceptional ability to untangle complex issues was instrumental in driving the success of our operations team at PureCars. Stephanie truly made a significant impact, and I wholeheartedly recommend them for their outstanding support."
"In the short time that Steph has been here, she has made herself available several times for targeted meetings and also just to check-in. I've found every interaction with Steph to be welcoming/comfortable and I have always left feeling validated, supported, and with enough tools/guidance to take action. Specifically, she's helped me talk through an associate's performance issue, provided me with a detailed document containing bulleted conversational tips, helped proofread my comms, and has continued to guide me through the entire escalated process. Never once did she make me feel out of my depth or inadequate in any way as a Lead, pure support! Steph has been super kind, thoughtful, and a welcome addition to the Ops team :)"
"Steph supported me on a metrics concern I was experiencing with my associates and manager. She was extremely supportive and encouraging. She was a great resource for me during a very difficult time. Steph also took the time to follow up with me to ensure the issue was resolved."
"Steph has already supported me through a sensitive convo with an associate, prepping a return from leave plan, and ad-hoc professional development requests from an associate on my team as well - she's been such an amazing resource. She is really strong in her communication and execution. I appreciate her availability/approachability and quick response time. I feel very at ease and comfortable during our meetings and truly feel like she is an advocate for me and my team."
"After our first meeting, we set up a cadence to meet monthly, which is perfect for me. She is very approachable and I can see she truly cares about helping and making everyone feel comfortable and heard. Stephanie has provided me with talking points during the review cycle to assist me with one of my associates whose actions were not aligning with their goals. I appreciated her helping me navigate those difficult conversations. Currently, I have an associate who is returning from leave and Stephanie provided an amazing template and checklist to ensure the associate's return to work is smooth and we are prepared. This was immensely helpful as this is the first time I have had an associate go on leave, so this helped me navigate uncharted territory with ease. I had not realized Stephanie had only hit her 90 day mark, she has such a wealth of knowledge and always provides me with amazing resources that it made me feel she had been here for longer than 3 months."

I created the career path template for the HRBP team to use and modify for their business units, laying the groundwork for a culture of growth at Flex.

I created an online "PeopleOps HelpDesk" for employees to get immediate direction to resources, answers to questions, and assistance with requests.

As the first HRBP at my previous organization, I created this video to introduce leadership at the organization to the support of an HRBP, an area of HR support many were not familiar with.
