I am an experienced HRM specialist with over 13 years in payroll operations and human resources management. My career has been marked by a proven ability to lead payroll administration teams while mentoring and coaching professionals to foster high performance. I have built strong relationships with cross-functional teams, including HR, Finance, and Legal, ensuring smooth operations and compliance across global regions.

Throughout my career, I have developed streamlined payroll policies and procedures that enhance efficiency and accuracy while adhering to regulatory standards. I successfully managed end-to-end recruitment processes, creating positive candidate experiences and utilizing diverse sourcing channels to achieve organizational hiring objectives. My expertise in HRIS systems, including ADP and Workday, has allowed me to improve HR processes and provide data-driven insights that contribute to organizational success.
