What I'm looking for

I seek a strategic HR role where I can partner with leadership to improve employee experience, drive data-informed people programs, and strengthen compliance and performance culture.

I am a SHRM-CP certified HR professional with 10 years of experience aligning people strategies with business objectives to drive engagement, performance, and retention.

I have partnered with executive leadership to implement HR initiatives, designed SOPs and manager training guides, and led end-to-end performance review cycles that tie calibration to compensation strategy.

My hands-on experience spans employee relations, compliance, talent acquisition, onboarding/offboarding, benefits engagement, and HRIS reporting using ADP Workforce, UKG Pro, Paylocity, and Workday.

I deliver measurable results through data-driven BI reports, streamlined HR operations, and programs that improved survey participation, reduced turnover, and strengthened organizational culture.
