Eliza Herrington

HR Coordinator

Originally from Atlanta, Eliza got her start in the talent and people space during a fellowship with an educational technology company, where she supported both data integration and talent acquisition initiatives. She also worked with a mobile fashion startup, helping grow its community and user base - a role that sparked her love for connecting people and driving growth in creative environments.

After recently graduating from the University of Georgia and moving to Charlotte, Eliza joined BloomHR as an HR Coordinator.

Lizanne Boyer

Growth & Implementation Coordinator

Originally from Dallas, Texas, Lizanne graduated from Texas A&M University with a degree in Human Resource Development and a minor in Business. She competed as a Division I student-athlete on the women's tennis team, helping lead the Aggies to an NCAA National Championship and three SEC Championships. After graduating, she continued both her academic and athletic careers—starting her master's degree at Santa Clara University while finishing her final season of NCAA eligibility on the court. Balancing academics and athletics taught her the value of teamwork, adaptability, and performing under pressure, all of which she now brings to her work in HR.

Lizanne joined BloomHR as a Growth & Implementation Coordinator, where she primarily supports clients through PEO transitions—making sure onboarding stays smooth as organizations move to new HR, payroll, and benefits platforms. She also partners with the sales team on client discovery, organizing transition details and helping create a seamless experience from the very first conversation through implementation. Lizanne loves building relationships, solving problems, and making complex processes feel simple for clients.

Outside of work, you'll usually find Lizanne on the tennis court, exploring Chapel Hill, or checking out new restaurants with family and friends. She loves staying active, meeting new people, discovering great local food, and cheering on college sports whenever she gets the chance.

Amanda Valbert, PHR

Director of Recruiting

Amanda moved to Charlotte to play volleyball and earn a Psychology degree at Queens University. Her natural pull toward community, leadership, and team building led her to pursue a Master's in Industrial & Organizational Psychology, where she fell in love with the intersection of people, business, consulting, and human resources. She started her recruiting career in the staffing agency world before moving into Corporate Talent Acquisition for seven years—eventually setting out on an entrepreneurial path to give candidates better support as they search for the right place to work.

Amanda joined BloomHR as Director of Recruiting to be part of a team she describes as powerful, dynamic, intuitive, empathetic, steady, committed, forward-moving, and—most importantly—fun. Overseeing recruiting support and driving successful, long-term hires is her idea of a perfect day. She specializes in helping companies in growth or transition, driving strategic value, building trust quickly, and maintaining partnerships that last. Her gift is finding the right players and placing them in the best lineup possible.

Outside of work, you'll find Amanda somewhere outside—probably with her dog, near a body of water, playing volleyball (or thinking about volleyball), surrounded by friends, family, and great food.
