What I'm looking for

I’m looking to continue driving multi-state payroll accuracy and compliance, partnering with HRIS, Finance, and IT on integrations and system implementations, and improving controls, reporting, and SOPs in a fast-moving environment.

I’m a Senior Payroll professional with 20+ years managing complex, multi-state payroll operations across financial services, technology, manufacturing, healthcare, semiconductor, and HR services organizations. I bring deep expertise in payroll processing, payroll tax compliance, payroll accounting, HRIS administration, audits, and system implementations with integrations that keep pay accurate and controls strong.

In each role, I focus on improving payroll accuracy through reconciliation, stronger timekeeping controls, and root-cause troubleshooting of discrepancies. I partner closely with HR, Finance, Accounting, Tax, and IT teams to support compliance initiatives, complete audit requests, and deliver payroll reporting and analytics using ADP and advanced Excel—while building SOPs and training to standardize payroll operations.
