Hi, I’m Brooke
I founded Sweet Spot HR to help leaders and employees genuinely love their work. With experience in both in-house HR leadership and consulting, I support business owners in growing their teams without the stress and risk that often comes with managing people. My approach is practical, hands-on, and grounded in real business operations, not theory.
I began my career at a fast-growing digital marketing company, advancing from HR Assistant to leadership as the organization scaled from 200 to nearly 1,000 employees. Since then, I’ve partnered with employers nationwide, supporting multi-state teams and complex compliance across a wide range of industries.
My goal is to take HR off your plate by building clear, compliant systems, so you can lead with confidence and focus on what matters most. When I’m not working with clients, you’ll find me enjoying comedy podcasts, experimenting with kitchen gadgets, or spending time outdoors. If you’re looking for an approachable, experienced HR partner, I’d love to connect.
Who This Is For
We specialize in supporting mission-driven teams, including accounting, marketing, bookkeeping, healthcare consulting, and nonprofits.
If your success depends on the expertise and well-being of your people, we provide the HR infrastructure you need to lead with confidence.
FAQs

I don't have any HR infrastructure. Where do we begin?
We begin by gaining a deep understanding of your business, your team, and your long-term objectives. Together, we assess your compliance obligations and current HR infrastructure to identify exactly what is and isn’t working for your organization. From there, we develop and implement professional systems, tools, and strategies tailored to your specific needs.
Our core focus areas include compliance, onboarding, compensation, and performance management. We prioritize based on your most pressing needs—addressing urgent vulnerabilities first before building toward a long-term strategy. Regardless of the starting point, our goal is to create a professional foundation that supports your employees and protects your business.
