What I'm looking for
I am a results-driven HR professional with over 15 years of experience in human resources, payroll management, and leadership roles. My expertise lies in HRIS applications, financial analysis, and customer service, which I have honed through various positions in the industry. I am passionate about training and development, recruitment, and fostering positive employee relations.
In my most recent role as the Head of Haunt at Dreamwork’s Entertainment, I successfully trained seasonal employees and provided essential HR support to senior management. Previously, as a Financial and HR Analyst at M3 Mortgage Group, I facilitated informed decision-making on budget allocations and streamlined financial reporting processes, significantly reducing turnaround time. My extensive experience also includes managing national payroll processes and coordinating HR functions across multiple jurisdictions.
