HR MANAGER | OFFICE ADMINISTRATOR
Jacqueline Gardner, SHRM - CP
I’m a people-first HR professional with a strong background in business operations, HR support, and executive assistance. I spent over 10 years at Falkenberg Capital, a boutique investment banking firm, where I managed office operations and supported senior leadership—an experience that sharpened my skills in organization, communication, and problem-solving.
Since transitioning into HR, I’ve supported teams across healthcare, finance, and retail. I started out managing staffing for 12 retail stores and quickly moved up to help oversee 51. Most recently, I supported over 80 employees at a behavioral health facility, managing the full employee lifecycle across five departments.
I hold an Associate Degree in Business, certificates in HR and General Business, and became SHRM-CP certified in June 2025. I’m passionate about helping people navigate workplace challenges, supporting work-life balance, and creating environments where employees feel genuinely valued—because when you take care of your people, the business takes care of itself. For me, HR isn’t just about filling roles; it’s about building meaningful careers and helping people grow.
