What I'm looking for

I seek a senior HR role where I can lead benefits, compensation and payroll programs, ensure compliance, use data to inform strategy, and partner with leaders for business-aligned total rewards.

I am a senior benefits and compensation leader with extensive experience managing multi-state benefits, payroll and compensation programs while ensuring compliance with ERISA, FLSA, ACA, HIPAA, ADA, COBRA and FMLA. I partner with finance and executive leadership to align total rewards strategies with organizational goals, lead benefit renewals, retirement plan administration, leave programs, plan audits and Form 5500 filings, and leverage benchmarking and analytics to drive fair, competitive pay practices.

I have led payroll and benefits operations using ADP Workforce Now, managed 401(k), ESOP and defined benefit plans with issue-free audits, administered complex leave programs with empathy, and managed multi-million dollar HR budgets and high-volume payroll for large employee populations. I hold PHR, CEBS and CPSP certifications and bring a track record of strengthening compliance, improving employee experience and building high-performing HR teams.
