What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead HR and people operations across payroll, benefits, compliance, employee relations, and workforce planning, partnering closely with leadership to improve processes during organizational growth and change.

I've led multi-state and international HR operations at J. Global Energy, supporting employee lifecycle processes, payroll, benefits, compliance, workforce planning, and organizational change.

I built reporting for labor costs, headcount planning, and performance metrics, coordinated benefits renewals, supported visa sponsorship administration, and partnered with HR, Finance, Legal, and leadership to improve processes during growth.

Previously, I processed payroll for 900+ employees at Alliantgroup and managed multi-state payroll, benefits, tax filings, employee relations, and acquisition transitions for 25 locations at TPN Management.
