WHY INDEPENDENT SCHOOLS?
Terry J Atkinson spent years working in Human Resources for corporate clients, such as Coatney West and The New York Times, gaining experience on all aspects of HR across multiple industries. She realized her most fulfilling moments were assisting her clients in the academic community. So, to provide a greater breadth of services, expertise, and commitment, she started her own consulting firm, HRAcademia, specializing in Human Resources management for independent schools.
