I am a bit of a story teller, so my introduction to you is a story I'd like to share.

My mother has told me for years that I juggle and spin many plates and seem to enjoy the challenge. I chuckle at her portrayal of me, but recently I realized she was on to something. In 2023 I left my full-time job and returned to my primary vocation: wife and mother. I am very much enjoying my time at home, and yet feel a tug to do something more, to use my skills and talents in the professional world while still maintaining my time at home and commitment to my family. I started to think about what that might look like, and it turned out to be my own company: Avila HR.

I decided to launch my own HR consulting services, and I am very excited about it. I chose the name Avila as a nod to one of my favorite women, St. Teresa of Avila who was from Spain. She was a writer, reformer, a people-person, a leader, and a teacher; she was confident, kind and humble, among many other virtues and talents. Though we are separated by an ocean and many centuries, I admire her gumption, zeal, and her courage. I hope to emulate her in my HR venture.

Avila HR consulting services will focus on the needs of my clients, tailoring work to suit the scope of the project, the desired outcomes, and always with a view to the long-term success of the client. That’s the “business” side of what I hope to accomplish. On a personal level, I want every client to feel they have in me not just a trusted HR professional but a friend: someone who gets them, supports them, and strives to help them with genuine enthusiasm. My values of truth, wisdom and friendship will be the hallmark of my work.

I am excited for the opportunity to coalesce my HR knowledge with my personal Christian values. Reach out to me and let's see what I can do to help you.
