“My journey at Royal American began in May 2023, starting as a Payroll Technician. Seeking to expand my knowledge and experience new challenges, I moved to the Human Resources Department in 2006.

During my time in HR, I progressed through various roles, including HR Assistant, HR Manager, and Employee Relations Manager, culminating in my promotion to Director of Human Resources in 2021.

Throughout my years at Royal American, despite facing numerous challenges, the exceptional female leadership has been a constant source of inspiration. These leaders have not only been instrumental in shaping the organization but have also provided me with mentorship, enabling me to thrive in every position I’ve held over my 20-year tenure.

I am honored to lead a team of outstanding HR professionals and I am excited about what the next 20 years will bring.“

Over Two Decades of Female Leadership & Innovation

As we commemorate Women’s History Month, we take immense pride in celebrating the extraordinary journeys of the women within our organization who have dedicated over 20 years of service.  These trailblazing women have not only shaped the success and resilience of our company but have also paved the way for future generations of women in the industry.  Their contributions go beyond their tenure; they have been instrumental in breaking barriers and setting new standards in a traditionally male-dominated industry.  As some share their personal stories, you will see they are not just a testament to their personal success but are also a crucial part of our collective history and progress. This Women’s History Month, we celebrate the lasting impact of these incredible women on our organization and the industry at large.
