Hi there! I'm Jess Christopher, your friendly People Leader dedicated to helping small to mid-sized organizations glow up with people-first cultures.

With 15+ years of experience in HR, I’ve helped hyper-growth companies scale their teams while ensuring their people feel supported and empowered.

Whether you're looking to establish foundational HR practices, scale your team, or level up your leadership, I'll help you build a culture where employees feel valued, engaged, and excited to do their best work.
