" I would research work culture and HR policy because I felt like organizations we hiding information and bending the rules. I earned my master’s degree in Human Resources Management and graduated summa cum laude. I take pride in being an HR person with a heart to serve. HR people tend to have a gray cloud over their heads in the eyes of some employees. Having been in 3 very toxic work environments; I understand how stressful things can be and what it feels like when HR doesn’t seem to have your back. I wrote my most celebrated book, The Toxic Job Playbook, to help people. Everyone from leadership on down. Even people who are in the early stages of their job search. I am so proud of it and how well it has been received."
