What I'm looking for

I'm seeking a Workday HRIS role where I can improve recruiting, security, HCM, reporting, and business processes while partnering across HR, Talent Acquisition, Legal, and technical teams.

I've improved Workday Recruiting, Security, and HCM at TruGreen, configuring business processes and delivering solutions for Talent Acquisition, HR, and Legal teams.

I managed Paradox and Traitify implementations that created a faster AI-driven application experience and saved $2.8M in one year through lower labor, background check, and turnover costs. I also introduced a Configuration Document protocol that standardized HRIS configuration and strengthened knowledge transfer and audit readiness.

Across TruGreen and Ascena Retail Group, I've built reports, audits, and EIBs; tested upgrades; resolved system issues; maintained data integrity; and documented configuration changes.

My HR foundation includes HCM administration, recruiting, benefits, workers' compensation, unemployment claims, and training managers and employees on HR systems and processes. I'm returning to Workday HRIS work with full availability after family caregiving.
