Endorsements

As a small business owner supporting the film industry celebrating 50 years in business , (run by my husband and myself for 40 ) I was in need of a H.R. Consultant immediately when Covid closed us down in March on 2020. My previous consultant had just retired and I was at a complete loss what to do. Since that day, Selina has been by my side expertly handling the most challenging 2 1/2 years we have had in business. She is incredibly intelligent, and knowledgeable about her field and goes the extra mile to listen to problems from both the employee and employers point of view. She is articulate in her delivery and analysis of complex matters and her ability to calm down employees ineven the most difficult situations is impressive. We would be extremely fortunate to have Selina as part of the SCV City Council. She would bring a much needed fresh voice to the work that needs to be done in our diverse, growing community. She has my endorsement and my vote. — Rhonda Vigeant
