With an MBA in Organization Management from New Jersey City University, Tiana has a proven ability to develop high-performing teams, implement effective processes, and cultivate a culture of collaboration and excellence. Over the course of her career, she has held a variety of HR leadership roles, including HR Director at Urban Arts Partnership and HR Manager at CheckedUp, where she focused on aligning people strategies with organizational objectives. She is widely recognized for her expertise in leadership coaching, performance metrics, conflict resolution, compliance, and cultural development.
Tiana attributes much of her professional success to the guidance and support of her mentors, crediting their wisdom and encouragement with shaping her growth and perspective. Reflecting on her career, she shares that the best advice she has ever received is to always say “YES” to opportunities where she lacks experience, acknowledging that real growth occurs when stepping outside one’s comfort zone.
For young women entering the human resources field, Tiana emphasizes that HR is not simply a supportive role—it is inherently strategic. She encourages emerging professionals to embrace the complexity of navigating gray areas, balance people, policy, and integrity, and use data to tell compelling stories. Understanding the business, speaking up when something conflicts with values or fairness, and trusting one’s instincts are essential skills for success in the field.
Tiana identifies both challenges and opportunities in HR today. While navigating the impacts of the current administration presents challenges, she notes that artificial intelligence (AI) offers significant opportunities for those who know how to leverage it effectively to enhance decision-making, streamline processes, and improve the overall employee experience.
At the core of Tiana’s professional and personal life are the values of compassion, accountability, and drive. She prioritizes genuine care for others, takes responsibility for her decisions, and maintains the ambition to continuously grow while making meaningful contributions in her work and community.
