My Investigative Philosophy

I take pride in conducting thorough, fair, and impartial workplace investigations. I believe every concern deserves to be taken seriously and appropriately investigated, but I also recognize that an allegation is not the same as an established fact.

I approach each investigation without a predetermined outcome. I review the available information, consider different perspectives, identify inconsistencies, and look for additional evidence that may help establish what occurred. My responsibility is not to substantiate an allegation, but to determine what the evidence supports.

I also recognize that being involved in a workplace investigation can be incredibly stressful for employees. I make it a priority to explain the investigation process, what employees can expect, and their opportunity to share their perspective. I do my best to create an environment where employees feel comfortable asking questions and providing information, while maintaining appropriate professional boundaries.

Regardless of the concerns being investigated, I believe every employee deserves to be treated with dignity and respect. An investigation should never diminish an individual's value or make them feel that they have already been judged.

My goal is to conduct investigations that are thorough and objective, while remaining mindful of the people involved. I believe fairness, compassion, and accountability can and should exist together.
