What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters growth, values employee engagement, and allows me to utilize my HR skills to make a positive impact.

I am a results-driven HR professional with a strong background in recruitment, employee relations, training, and organizational leadership. My experience includes managing teams of up to 6 Direct Support Professionals (DSPs), where I successfully improved employee retention by 15% and streamlined payroll processes, leading to a 10% reduction in errors. I leverage technology, including Salesforce and HRIS, to enhance productivity and streamline HR operations.

Throughout my career, I have proven my ability to lead cross-functional teams, mediate conflicts, and implement programs that boost employee engagement and organizational success. I am skilled in managing performance evaluations, developing staff training programs, and ensuring compliance with labor laws in both remote and in-person settings. My commitment to fostering a positive work environment and enhancing team morale has consistently contributed to increased productivity and employee satisfaction.
