Fractional HR Advisory

Strategic HR leadership—without the full-time overhead.

Partner with an experienced HR leader to build intentional people practices, coach leaders, and navigate complexity with confidence.

You don’t need an HR department

You need a trusted partner who can help you grow, stabilize, and lead your people with clarity.

I bring two decades of HR leadership across nonprofits, startups, unions, and creative companies—and I help small teams scale smartly and humanely.

This is for you if…

➾ You’re a founder or COO building a team and need HR strategy

➾ You’ve been “winging it” with hiring, policies, or compliance

➾ You want help navigating conflict, culture, or leadership change

➾ You know your people are your greatest asset—and want to treat them that way

“Erika was able to pinpoint what roles were the best fit for me.”

“Erika was genuine, asked the right questions and most importantly, she was able to pinpoint what roles were the best fit for me. I left our first meeting knowing that I met the person that had my best interests in mind. In a matter of months, I was hired in the perfect position to start my journey.”

— Ebony Coles, Creative Director, AMC Networks
