resources . She served as corporate controller before transitioning to her current role as the human resources director at US Methanol . She plans , coordinates and directs the personnel operations of the company and oversees recruiting , interviewing and hiring functions , along with compliance , compensation , benefits and community relations . As the liaison between management and the employees , she says while the petrochemical industry was new to her , her time working in the venture capital arena gave her the experience needed to fulfill this role .

“ I ’ ve been a contributor , volunteer and chairperson on various committees for YWCA Girls Night Out for more than 12 years . I got involved because domestic violence is a real and growing problem . I am an advocate of women empowering women ,” she says .
From an early age , Hyre recalls a curiosity to learn everything , so she read a lot .
“ I believe reading is the core of all things . The more you read , the more you know and learn . This opens up more possibilities throughout life ,” she says .
As a donor , volunteer , treasurer and board member , Read Aloud is an organization that is very dear to her .
Hyre says choosing to be positive and confident is how she got to where she is today . Because of this mindset , she has been able to overcome obstacles .
“ Guilt and finding a work-life balance after I had my daughter — it was that insidious feeling of not doing enough as a parent , not doing everything right and having unrealistic expectations of being able to do it all and have it all ,” she says .
With a successful career , strong community relationships , faithful friendships and a wonderful daughter , Hyre proves she can have it all in her own way .
Deeply rooted family ties , along with the friendly , passionate people in West Virginia keep Hyre living , working and playing in the Mountain State . •
