Timasha Woods ’07

Global Human Resources Business Partner, Amgen

Timasha Woods
Timasha Woods ’07 is currently working with Amgen, a biopharmaceutical company based in Thousand Oaks, California.

Timasha Woods ’07 decided early that her choice of work needed to suit her ever-evolving interests in food, global travel, servant leadership and random adventures. Working in the human resources (HR) field continues to suit those interests and afford her the opportunity to help others effect change within large, complex companies.

She has provided her quirky brand of HR support to a myriad of client types, including but not limited to, unionized employees, sales teams, decorated army generals, and currently, vice and senior vice presidents including one former surgeon general of the United States. She attributes her continued interest and success in the field to her willingness to go where the experience is and partnering closely with her clients to understand the business.

Timasha is currently working with Amgen, a biopharmaceutical company based in Thousand Oaks, California. The company is comprised of 20,000 global employees whose mission, simply and elegantly stated, is to serve patients. Timasha earned her bachelor’s degree in psychology at Kalamazoo College.
