    Heidi Hernandez

    Learning & Development Consultant

    PuzzleHR

    As a SHRM-certified professional, I possess a solid foundation of knowledge in HR (Human Resources) practices and principles. I have over 17 years of experience in Human Capital Management from account management to sales. Throughout my career, I have had the opportunity to train and develop individuals on my team. This ignited my passion for people development, and I have loved every minute of it!

    During the earliest years of my career, I worked for the largest privately held talent management firm, The Allegis Group, to identify top-level talent. For me, this taught me the foundations of professionalism, a strong work ethic, striving for excellence, and crushing goals!

    Following my time with The Allegis Group, I spent 10 years working for Paychex, one of America’s Most Admired Companies. While at Paychex, I managed overly complex client accounts within the Professional Employment (PEO) division. Looking for a new challenge within Paychex, I shifted my focus toward becoming a sales representative and succeeded admirably. Consistently ranking among the top 15% of sales reps nationwide, I gained invaluable insight into what clients prioritize and how to respond to their needs.

    My background in both operations and sales has provided me with valuable insight into what clients prioritize and how to meet their needs. This has broadened my understanding of the motivations and mindsets of sales and service professionals.

    In 2020, I was approached by PuzzleHR to help assist in establishing a successful client onboarding experience for our new clients. The goal was to ensure a stellar first experience with our service divisions. Shortly thereafter, I joined the Learning & Development Team. My primary goal is to build and facilitate training programs; programs that foster the development of important skills such as emotional intelligence, a growth mindset, effective leadership in times of change, the ability to set clear expectations, and professional mentoring. I take tremendous pride in providing people with the skills and knowledge they need to reach their full potential!

    My career has been marked by excellence and drive within each role I have held.

    Invasive species and climate change are interacting to exacerbate negative impacts on native ecosystems. This talk will discuss several research projects aimed at informing proactive invasive species management in light of climate change, focusing specifically on managing the introduction of invasive plants through horticulture.

    Invasive species and climate change are interacting to exacerbate negative impacts on native ecosystems. This talk will discuss several research projects aimed at informing proactive invasive species management in light of climate change, focusing specifically on managing the introduction of invasive plants through horticulture. Our current policy framework for addressing the issue of range expansion of invasive plants is insufficient, with a clear need for better regional coordination. Strategies for addressing this will be discussed, using examples from invasive species networks in the Northeast U.S. Case studies will include the Native Plant Trust's habitat management in Concord, MA, to protect a rare violet threatened by the continued presence and spread of glossy buckthorn.

    Learning objectives:

    • Gain a better understanding of how invasive species and climate change are interacting to exacerbate negative impacts on native ecosystems. 
    • Glean insights from current research on invasive species management, specifically on managing the introduction of invasive plants through horticulture. 
    • Learn strategies for counteracting the range expansion of invasive plants.
