“I’ve worked in HR since 1990, and I’ve seen how people often feel alienated by HR processes. FaithLink was born out of a deep desire to make HR what it’s meant to be, a fair, principled, people-first function that protects both employee and employer. My faith in Jesus Christ has shaped my career and continues to guide how we serve.”
“Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord.”
