How HUMHR
Was Born
Long before it was a business, HUMHR was a quiet collection of conversations. I was the voice on the end of the phone when the hard questions surfaced—about leadership, purpose, staying, or stepping away. What began as informal guidance slowly revealed itself as a calling, where a single moment of clarity could shift a career’s path. HUMHR was born from that quiet trust and the profound belief that every humanitarian’s journey deserves a true strategic partner.
HUMHR is a boutique consultancy firm partnering with humanitarians and aid organizations to provide career development solutions and talent search services.
We believe that talented, inspired people are essential to the successful implementation of programs.
We partner with you to develop career marketing documents that tell your authentic story, working one-on-one to build a career search strategy that delivers results.
We partner exclusively with organizations and professionals in the humanitarian sector to support their missions, leveraging a well-connected network of partners across the United States, Africa, and the Caribbean. We look forward to partnering with you to do good.

My Leadership Philosophy
I am often described as an insightful and servant-oriented leader (leading by example and encouraging others to do the same). Throughout my career, I have been called upon for visionary ideas, thoughtful solutions, and steady guidance during moments of transition uncertainty and conflict. I believe careers are not accidents. They are built intentionally.
What I Bring
- A global HR and humanitarian perspective
- Strategic career positioning expertise
- Strengths-based coaching as a Gallup Certified Strengths Coach.
- Deep understanding of competency-based recruitment and leadership frameworks
- The ability to quickly assess role fit and career alignment
- Practical, honest, forward-thinking guidance
- I have supported both organizations and individuals from high-volume recruitment drives to
- one-on-one executive career strategy.
Today, through HUMHR, I partner with professionals navigating transition, growth and leadership helping them move from uncertainty to purpose.
