United StatesWhat I'm looking for
At the Department of Veterans Affairs’ Retirement Shared Services Office, I counsel employees on federal retirement, benefits, Social Security, and Thrift Savings Plan matters. I provide annuity estimates and assist with retirement applications.
As a detailed HR Specialist, I processed and closed over 300 voluntary retirement and ORA OPM cases applications since June 2022. I also supervise six Human Resource Assistants and answer questions about the retirement process and forms.
At Sustainable Engineering Solution, I supported the president with business office operations, including payroll and accounts payable and receivable. I also handled HR questions, managed warehouse inventory, coordinated contract bids, and audited QuickBooks.
Earlier, I processed home equity loan and line of credit applications at Norwest/Wells Fargo, earning the Wells Fargo Service Award and recognition as a top processor several months in a row. At Geocal Inc. and Kleinfelder Inc., I collected, analyzed, and interpreted construction-site samples.
