Nicole Lenihan
HR Consultant
"With a strong foundation in psychology, human resources, and education, I am focused on fostering employee growth, improving organizational systems, and creating people-centered practices that drive success."
My HR journey began in 2001 while pursuing my Master’s degree in Industrial / Organizational Psychology, where I discovered a passion for improving organizational systems and fostering employee growth. As a Generalist, I gained extensive experience in recruiting, onboarding, employee relations, safety protocols, worker’s compensation claims, and offboarding. I thrived in the fast-paced environment of a three-shift distribution center in the Capital Region, supporting operations across multiple locations.​
In 2007, I earned my Professional in Human Resources (PHR) certification, which I have actively maintained through ongoing professional development, ensuring my knowledge of legal updates and best practices remains current.
​
After stepping away from the HR field to focus on my growing family, I transitioned into education, earning my early childhood teaching credential and serving as an educator for over a decade. My unique combination of HR expertise and educational experience equips me with a
diverse perspective on people-centered practices.
​
With me, I bring a wealth of knowledge, adaptability, and commitment to excellence to my consulting role at Integra HR.
I am a catalyst for positive change, a champion for the community, and a voice for meaningful progress. I pride myself on being a clear and honest communicator, unafraid to admit when I don’t have all the answers. Outside of my professional life, I cherish being a mom to my two
teenagers and two mini golden dogs, as well as a loving wife. I find joy in savoring my morning coffee and immersing myself in the rhythm of live music!
