Favorite Technology

HR professionals wear a lot of hats, from writing and enforcing new handbook policies to orchestrating the company potluck. I love productivity, organization, and collaboration tools that allow me to switch between multiple tasks without losing my work. The web browser Arc and Google Workspace are my favorites. With them, I can separate different aspects of my job — like researching, writing, and administration — to stay on track with multiple priorities.
