What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that fosters collaboration and offers opportunities for professional growth in HR and payroll management.

I am a detail-oriented Payroll Specialist with extensive experience in payroll processing, tax compliance, benefits reconciliation, and HR operations. My proficiency in multi-country payroll management ensures accuracy and compliance while optimizing processes. I leverage HRIS systems and analyze payroll data to enhance efficiency and employee satisfaction.

Currently, I work as a Benefits & Payroll Administration Specialist at Sysco Corporation, where I administer benefits programs and conduct payroll audits to ensure data accuracy. My previous roles have equipped me with the skills to manage compensation programs, execute performance cycles, and provide expert support for payroll-related inquiries. I am passionate about collaborating with cross-functional teams to resolve HR challenges and improve overall payroll processes.
