What I'm looking for

I am seeking an operational or project role where I can manage onboarding, payroll, and cross-functional processes, contribute to continuous improvement, and support collaborative teams in a structured, growth-oriented environment.

I am a business operations professional with experience managing end-to-end onboarding, payroll validation, and employee lifecycle processes while providing operational support to branch leadership. I have led employee resource group observance initiatives, coordinated vendor and real estate communications, and supported field office training and travel logistics.

I hold a Google Project Management Certificate and Lean Six Sigma Green Belt training, and I have practical project planning experience from a CBRE project management simulation where I developed Gantt charts, WBS, risk plans, and practiced Agile sprint planning. I deliver organized, compliant operational processes and clear cross-functional coordination to improve efficiency and engagement.
