Hi, I’m Miriam!
I’m the founder of Bracken People Partners, where I help growing startups build the HR foundations they need to scale confidently.
My Approach
I believe great companies are built on thoughtful people practices, not just policies. My approach is hands-on, strategic, and tailored to meet each company where they are.
I start by understanding your team’s goals, culture, and challenges, then build practical, scalable systems that align with your values and growth stage. Whether it’s benefits design, performance planning, employee relations, or HR organization, I focus on creating solutions that fit your business, not a one-size-fits-all template.
Every engagement is a partnership. My goal is to set you up with the structure, tools, and confidence to grow your people function sustainably, because when your team thrives, your company does too.

FAQ
-
Every partnership starts with a quick conversation. We’ll talk about your company’s goals, challenges, and what kind of support you’re looking for. From there, I’ll put together a proposal that outlines a clear plan, whether it’s a short-term project, a specific HR need, or ongoing fractional support. The goal is to meet you exactly where you are and build from there.

Pricing is based on both the project's scope and your desired timeline. (I promise fair rates and will always require your approval before we begin).

It depends on your needs. Some clients work with me on a defined project, like setting up benefits, creating policies, or handling an employee relations issue that lasts a few weeks to a few months. Others partner with me on a fractional or retainer basis for ongoing People Operations leadership and support. We’ll design a timeline that fits your company’s stage and priorities..
