Why Harper?
The name Harper is a nod to two favorites:
To Kill a Mockingbird author Harper Lee and and the historic town of Harpers Ferry, WV.
Both represent the opportunity to stand up against racial injustice and oppression. This concept, along with modernizing today's HR practices to be equitable and inclusive for all, is the foundation of our approach.
We strive to learn, and we strive to do better every day.

From our Colleagues and Clients
What impressed me most about Andrea from the start was her ability to listen, really listen. In a world where we are all striving to be more inclusive, many chatter about the need to be more diverse, equitable, and inclusive, but Andrea actually listens intently, thoughtfully assesses, and then prepares to give her input which is always profound. While helping our organization grow in the DEI space, she also tremendously helped me grow in the DEI space as well. It has been a great pleasure to work with Andrea, and I would highly recommend her.

I’ve known Andrea for over 7 years, and her skills and insight continue to amaze me. She’s diligent, knowledgeable, thorough and compassionate - four essentials for any HR leader. However, I’m most impressed with her ability to be unbiased, consistently working to understand other perspectives and not being afraid to be uncomfortable. She centered equity and inclusion before they were trends. It’s just who she is.
Dr. Kimberly Butler-Willis, Managing Director of Goodstock Consulting
Andrea is a smart, strategic and effective professional who is adept at building teams and bringing people together. Her emotional intelligence has proven especially valuable to our organization. Andrea is also creative and fun – she often surprises us with new ideas, opportunities and brings a burst of energy that is both refreshing and inspiring. With Andrea’s insight, experience, direction and leadership, our organization is becoming more connected, more efficient, and more impactful than ever before.
