diverse work force and achieving our goal of being the most
effective and efficient city government in the Puget Sound

As a member of the executive management team and at
the direction of the Mayor and the Chief Administrative
Officer, Bradley-Mak will provide executive leadership for all
department personnel and activities. She will be responsible
for providing human resource services, in addition to
planning, organizing and directing departmental operations
and functions and personnel policies and programs.
Bradley-Mak’s background includes experience in state and municipal government, most recently with the
City of Puyallup. Throughout her career, Bradley-Mak has managed employee training programs,
employee conflict and investigations, and labor relations and contract negotiations. Ms. Bradley-Mak has
two Bachelor of Arts degrees from the University of Washington; one in Society and Justice, one in
Sociology. She has also received a Senior Professional Human Resources certification from the Society of
Human Resource Management.
Bradley-Mak is looking forward to supporting the city’s mission of building an inclusive, informed city with
opportunities for all. She has spent her professional life seeking continuous improvement and new
challenges. Her leadership philosophy is one of collaboration, inclusiveness, open dialogue, and strong
and effective partnerships.
