HR Pros: Master Excel -- or Let Me Build It for You

I also offer 1:1 Excel coaching designed specifically for HR professionals. I’m here to teach you not just how to use Excel, but why and when certain tools can make a difference.

What sets me apart? I don’t just teach formulas and functions—I bring over 20 years of hands-on combined HR and Finance experience to the table. I know the kinds of data challenges you face every day, and I’ll show you practical, real-world ways to use Excel to solve them. I know what it’s like to juggle multiple priorities, and I’ve developed smart techniques to streamline workflows, improve accuracy, and save time.

This isn’t a dry, pre-recorded, one-size-fits-all, “press this button” kind of class. Every session is live and tailored to your unique needs—whether that’s understanding pivot tables, building compensation models, creating dashboards, or cleaning up and organizing messy data so it’s clear and actionable. And if you’re struggling with something specific, bring it up! This is a safe, judgment-free space to ask questions, share challenges, and leave with real solutions. Or, if you’re starting from scratch with no specific use cases or questions yet, that’s absolutely fine too.

By the time we’re done, you’ll not only know the tools but feel confident using them in real-world HR scenarios.

If you and your HR team are ready to level up, let’s connect and turn Excel from a mystery into your favorite tool—I’d love to help you feel more confident and capable in your work!

If you’re in HR, you know Excel is more than just a tool—it’s practically a coworker. Whether you’re analyzing salary data, tracking headcount, or preparing reports for leadership, Excel is the key to making your job easier (and maybe even a little fun).
