What I'm looking for

I seek an HR role focused on onboarding, compliance, and employee engagement in a mission-driven organization that values collaboration, clear communication, and professional growth.

I am a dedicated Human Resources professional with extensive experience designing and managing full‑cycle onboarding programs, ensuring I-9 and background check compliance, and fostering positive new‑hire integration across clinical and nonclinical environments. I serve as a primary point of contact for new hires, coordinate pre‑employment logistics, develop and present orientation content via MS Teams, and maintain accurate HR records and tracking to ensure first‑day readiness and ongoing engagement.

Previously I managed recruitment, training, and HR administration in behavioral health and education settings, created training materials, conducted orientations and assessments, and supported audits and compliance reporting. Organized, dependable, and mission‑focused, I use strong communication and HRIS/ATS skills to support team goals and improve employee experiences.
