Operations, compliance, and data reporting professional—turning regulations into actionable dashboards.
What I'm looking for
I’m an Operations, Compliance & Data Reporting professional with 10 years of experience across social services, government, and nonprofit systems, specializing in regulatory interpretation, workflow governance, investigative data analysis, and policy-aligned documentation. I build structured reporting—dashboards, summaries, SOPs, and templates—that help leadership make consistent, compliant decisions. I’m also actively expanding expertise in HRIS (ADP, OnTarget EHR, Kronos, and Workday familiarity), with a growing focus on workforce data integrity and systems optimization to improve organizational efficiency.
In my current Area Administrator role, I conduct workplace-style investigations, gather statements, review documentation, and prepare written summaries for leadership. I lead overnight operations to support 24/7 staffing, supervising a total workforce of 14 while managing call-ins, attendance, timekeeping, payroll-related approvals, and emergency coverage. Across roles, I’ve maintained HIPAA/FERPA-compliant documentation, delivered workforce knowledge materials, coordinated multi-stakeholder communication between investigators, legal counsel, hospitals, administrators, and HR, and supported HR and retention work including payroll/timecard reconciliation, employee grievance resolution, workers’ compensation claims, and onboarding with I-9 documentation.
