What I'm looking for

I’m looking for an HR role where I can partner with managers and employees, drive process improvements, strengthen employee relations and recruiting, and use HRIS tools to scale with accuracy and compliance.

I’m a Human Resources Specialist with 7+ years of progressive experience in HR operations, recruiting, employee engagement, and administrative leadership. I’m known for fostering positive workplace culture while supporting large teams with creativity and precision.

In my current role, I partner with managers across multiple locations and states to support a 420+ employee workforce. I act as a liaison between leadership and employees, strengthen open communication, and drive consistent HR practices across hiring, onboarding, and employee relations.

I also lead talent acquisition efforts, train managers on HRIS adoption (including Paylocity), and maintain compliance-driven employee records and documentation. Earlier roles strengthened my foundation in regulated operations, onboarding and benefits administration, event-based recruiting, and structured support for HR and business needs.
