United StatesWhat I'm looking for
At DutchCrafters Amish Furniture, I lead HR operations for a 50+ global workforce, using automation, HRIS administration, and people analytics to improve the employee lifecycle from recruiting through offboarding.
I've reduced cost-per-hire by 60% and false starts by 50% by improving job descriptions and onboarding. I also manage multi-state payroll, open enrollment, benefits administration, I-9 records, and compliance with ACA, COBRA, ERISA, FLSA, and multi-state employment laws.
Earlier, I managed operations, financial administration, case management, and remote-work transitions for legal services firms. I bring a people-centered, tech-forward approach to building inclusive cultures, reliable processes, and data-informed workforce decisions.
