Donna has been with Obsidian HR and its sister company ProService Hawaii since 2004. She has over 30 years of experience in HR and has assisted many of our clients with a wide variety of HR challenges. Donna is fortunate to be one of those individuals who truly love their job!  A good day is any day that she can guide decision-makers on employment decisions geared to support the company while providing a great place for employees to work and thrive.  Another of her passions is sharing information with others and that passion brought her to Obsidian today.
