How do you see HR changing in the next five to ten years?
This pandemic has proven, once again, how vital HR is to an organization. I truly believe HR will continue to increase as the go-to strategic partner for organizations who wish to be around in the next 5-10 years. The needs of employees in the workplace have changed significantly, and HR will be leading the charge on not only meeting these needs, but planning for the future.

Which two people would you have brunch with and why?
Michelle Obama and Nikola Tesla. Michelle is an incredible individual and I would love to hear about her experiences, as well as discuss her arm routine.
