My Story

Built on a Passion for Helping Public Employers Succeed

DLHR Consulting was founded on a simple belief: every public organization deserves access to experienced human resources leadership. Many cities, counties, and special districts face increasingly complex workplace challenges but don’t have the need—or the budget—for a full-time HR Director. DLHR Consulting bridges that gap by providing practical, executive-level HR guidance tailored to the unique needs of public employers. From employee relations and workplace investigations to leadership coaching and policy development, I help organizations build stronger workplaces while reducing organizational risk.

My values

At DLHR Consulting, every recommendation is grounded in professionalism, integrity, and practical solutions. I believe HR should be a trusted partner that helps leaders make informed decisions, support employees, and strengthen their organizations.

My approach

I work alongside leadership teams as an extension of their organization—not just as an outside consultant. By taking the time to understand each client’s goals, culture, and challenges, I deliver thoughtful HR solutions that are realistic, compliant, and built to last.
