What I'm looking for

I seek a mid-level HR role focused on compliance, HRIS automation, and talent acquisition where I can drive process improvements and measurable people outcomes.

I am an HR professional with over two years of hands-on experience in compliance, HRIS implementation, and process optimization. I hold the Associate Professional in Human Resources (aPHR) certification and a degree in Psychology & Human Resources Management.

I have led full-scale I-9 audits achieving 100% federal compliance across 200+ employees and eliminated significant potential USCIS penalties. I designed onboarding programs that increased new hire satisfaction by 70% and implemented vendor changes that produced annual savings.

My work includes streamlining payroll and benefits workflows, reducing certified payroll errors by 60%, accelerating time-to-hire up to 25%, and decreasing voluntary turnover through targeted retention programs. I also provide strategic HR advisory services to small businesses, improving quality-of-hire and reducing 90-day attrition.

I prioritize building scalable HR frameworks—SOPs, policies, training materials—and leveraging analytics to inform workforce planning, engagement, and performance management. I seek roles where compliance, HRIS automation, and people-first strategy intersect to drive measurable business outcomes.
