Monyca Brown
Founder & CEO
Who I am & What I Do
I provide behind-the-scenes operational and project support to HR consultants who are balancing multiple priorities. From developing polished decks and client communications to creating handbooks and HR documentation, I help consultants stay organized, efficient, and ready to grow. When businesses need strategic HR support, I also serve as their trusted Fractional HR partner.

The group’s collective expertise has been a game-changer, allowing me to expand my reach and grow my consulting business, while maintaining the support of like-minded professionals.
What Makes Me Unique
I offer a rare blend of operational support and strategic HR consulting. I serve as an extra set of hands for HR consultants who are managing it all, and as a Fractional HR partner for business owners who need expert HR guidance without hiring in-house. Whether I’m managing back-end operations, leading projects, or stepping in as HR for a client, my approach is flexible, efficient, and fully aligned with each client’s goals.
Michelle Slobig
Founder
Who I am & What I Do
My focus is to partner with small and growing organizations by offering leadership training, employee development, coaching, and practical HR templates. Because many small businesses struggle with compliance, talent development, and HR systems, I bring both strategic and technical support (including HRIS setup) to assist with building up employees and leaders so companies can grow stronger. I lead with integrity, clarity, and compassion.
The Value of HR4HR Membership
HR4HR has connected me with a strong network of HR professionals and practical resources that strengthen my practice and keep me current with evolving trends and compliance requirements. It’s also given me encouragement and support as I grow my consulting business—making me feel part of a professional community that truly understands HR.
What Makes Me Unique
My focus is on strengthening workplace culture by building up both employees and leaders. I bring together HR expertise and HRIS technical skills to deliver clarity, strategy, and systems that help businesses thrive. Inspired by the motorcycle community, I carry forward resilience, grit, and connection which are the same values I strive to help companies cultivate.
Erin Eilers
Founder & CEO
Who I am & What I Do
I help business owners sleep at night by keeping them compliant, protected, and confident in their people practices. With over 25 years of experience and a Master’s in Employment Law, I specialize in building HR structures that prevent legal headaches before they happen. Unlike big-box PEOs, I offer tailored, hands-on support so leaders get the expertise they need—without losing control of their culture.
The Value of HR4HR Membership
Being part of HR4HR connects me to a powerhouse network of peers who understand the unique challenges of leading HR at the highest level. It’s not just about knowledge-sharing—it’s about having trusted colleagues who push me to stay sharp, innovative, and always one step ahead on compliance trends.
What Makes Me Unique
My consulting firm isn’t just about policy manuals and compliance checklists—it’s about protecting businesses from becoming tomorrow’s lawsuit headline. I bring a straight-talk, no-fluff approach that makes HR not just a necessary function, but a competitive advantage. And yes, I can make compliance sound (almost) fun.
Gayle Fainstein
Founder & CEO
Who I am & What I Do
I work with founders and executive leaders who are tired of being the default person for every HR matter. I partner with you behind the scenes to take pressure off your plate, supporting your managers, answering the day-to-day people matters & questions, and putting simple structures in place so your team can run with more clarity and less handholding. You stay focused on growth and your people stay supported without it all landing on your desk.
The Value of HR4HR Membership
One of the main reasons I joined is because working as a solo consultant can feel isolating at times. I see HR4HR as the best of both worlds. I get the autonomy I love while also feeling like I have coworkers again. It’s great to be able to bounce around ideas, learn about new trends, and stay on top of what’s happening out there. Being part of this group will make the work feel a lot less lonely and a lot more connected.
What Makes Me Unique
I don't do "black and white HR." I try hard to bring empathy and humor to my interactions while helping leaders navigate the gray with confidence.
Rene Gonzalez
SHRM-SCP
Who I am & What I Do
I am a seasoned Human Resources leader with over 30 years of experience helping organizations build cultures that inspire innovation, performance, and engagement. I’ve led strategic HR initiatives across industries including technology, manufacturing, hospitality, financial services, and nonprofit sectors—aligning people strategies with business goals to drive measurable results. My work focuses on talent development, workforce planning, leadership coaching, and organizational transformation, partnering with executives to strengthen teams and navigate change effectively. A trusted advisor to C-suite executives, I specialize in uniting multi-generational teams, guiding complex change, and cultivating high-performing workplaces.
The Value of HR4HR Membership
Having a community of HR pros to turn to is extremely motivating for me. Being on my own, I often feel I can't take on certain projects because I don't have the background to best serve that project. Now, being part of HR4HR provides me with a selection of HR professionals with varying backgrounds that I can lean on for support or hand the project to so I can build lasting relationships with my clients.
What Makes Me Unique
I have done extensive study on the differences between the multiple generational groups in the workforce today. With Gen Z quickly making its mark on companies that are still functioning in older mindsets, I have the ability to help companies find a symbiotic solution that allows them to build on their differences and create cohesive work groups.
Alicia Osborne
Who I am & What I Do
I provide specialized HR consulting focusing on benefits administration, compliance, and training. By stepping in during staffing gaps, I help organizations avoid costly delays, compliance risks, and recruitment strain. I am also able to provide support in all areas of HR (recruitment, employment, employee relations, leave, workers' compensation, FMLA, ADA, etc.) having worked progressively increased my HR expertise over 19+ years.
The Value of HR4HR Membership
Having a support system, a team of experts to consult with from all areas of HR has been invaluable. Knowing I can reach out to a fellow HR professional and receive expert support provides peace of mind for not only me, but lends to the confidence in providing support above and beyond to my clients.
What Makes Me Unique
I am a multicultural and multilingual Latina who enjoys learning and growing and imparting all the knowledge I gain. I love Human Resources and look forward to providing support and assistance to my fellow Elites and our clients.
Ammie Micheals

I’m an experienced HR consultant and business advisor with two decades of expertise. I specialize in providing fractional HR solutions that help small businesses and startups stay compliant, strengthen their teams, and uncover hidden cost savings.
The Value of HR4HR Membership
Being a member of HR4HR has been invaluable to me as a fractional HR consultant.

HR4HR provides not only practical tools and multi-state insights but also a trusted network of peers who inspire and support one another enhancing the value I deliver to every client.
What Makes Me Unique
What makes me different is how personal the work is to me. I don’t just show up as an HR consultant, I become part of your team. I focus on real connection, understanding your business and your people before offering solutions. Clients work with me because I’m straightforward, dependable, and genuinely invested in helping them build healthy, high-performing teams. My approach is practical, not corporate and you get honest guidance, steady partnership, and HR strategies that actually fit your world, not someone else’s template.
Tony Ware
Who I am & What I Do
I’m the Owner & Principal Consultant of RevUp HR, where I partner with organizations to build intentional people strategies, strengthen HR operations, and support leaders navigating growth and change.
The Value of HR4HR Membership
As a solo fractional HR practitioner, I deeply value HR4HR as a true team environment—one where executive-level HR professionals come together to share best practices, exchange thought leadership, and strengthen our collective impact. HR4HR not only provides a supportive professional community but also a trusted referral network that generates warm leads and meaningful partnership opportunities.
What Makes Me Unique
My HR career spans the public, non-profit, and private sectors across industries such as education, conflict resolution/peacebuilding, public relations, economic development, and wildlife conservation. This breadth of experience allows me to craft tailored, high-impact HR solutions for diverse organizational needs. I’ve also served as an HR department of one and launched two HR functions from the ground up—experience that sharpened my strategic thinking, operational strength, and ability to guide small and mid-size organizations through transformative growth.
Dawn Moynihan
Who I am & What I Do
I’m a senior Human Resources and People Operations leader with 15+ years of experience building, fixing, and scaling HR functions across healthcare, transportation, logistics, manufacturing, tech, retail, and professional services. I specialize in the unsexy but mission-critical side of HR—operations, compliance, employee relations, HR systems, payroll, benefits, and governance—while never losing sight of the human experience behind the process.
I’ve led HR through growth, restructuring, acquisitions, compliance audits, system implementations, and high-stakes employee relations moments. I’m the person leaders call when things are complex, sensitive, or need to be built the right way from the ground up.
What I bring to the HR4HR community is real-world insight grounded in hands-on HR leadership, not just theoretical frameworks. I offer deep expertise across HR operations, compliance, employee relations, and systems, along with a pragmatic, calm approach to navigating high-risk or emotionally charged situations. I’m passionate about mentoring HR professionals as they navigate growth, burnout, career pivots, and leadership transitions, and I strongly believe HR can be both operationally excellent and deeply human. I’m here to talk about what actually works, what we wish someone had told us earlier, and how to build sustainable HR careers while doing meaningful work.
The Value of HR4HR Membership
HR can be isolating. We’re expected to have answers, manage risk, support leaders, and care for employees—often without a safe place to ask questions or say, “This is hard.”
HR4HR matters because it creates a space for HR professionals to learn from each other, support each other, and grow together—without judgment or posturing. I believe deeply that better HR leaders are built through shared experience, honest conversation, and practical insight, not just certifications or theory.
What Makes Me Unique
I’ve sat at the intersection of strategy and execution my entire career. I can design the roadmap—and I can also roll up my sleeves to fix payroll issues, rewrite policies, lead investigations, or coach a struggling manager.
I’m also a founder (10 HR Lessons), a lifelong learner, and someone who believes resilience, discipline, and empathy are leadership skills—inside and outside of HR.
