City of New London, Director of Personnel

Personnel is globally responsible for providing timely, appropriate staffing for all Departments and assisting and supporting those departments through training, counseling, coaching, and direct support in labor relations. Assist all employees by providing a compassionate source of information, prompt and efficient benefits & pension administration, management of leave time, risk management, support for professional and personal goals, and assisting in making the City of New London a fulfilling workplace environment.

In addition, during my over twenty years of experience in labor and employment issues, I have successfully analyzed the root cause of conflicts and provided reasonable possibilities for resolution while calmly de-escalating issues.

I have a workplace mediation and conflict resolution certificate. I also hold a Master’s degree in Human Resources Management and Development and a Master’s degree in Employment Law.
