Message

At STAR DENTAL PARTNERS, I direct payroll operations and support HR, benefits, compliance, and HRIS for a multi-state organization with nearly 1,300 employees. I use ADP WFN to process bi-weekly and monthly bonus payroll, and serve as the primary payroll and ADP subject matter expert.

I develop advanced Excel solutions to improve reporting accuracy and streamline payroll workflows. I also maintain procedures and training materials, conduct payroll audits, and support internal and external audits.

At PACE REALTY, I completed a payroll conversion from Ceridian to ADP WFN while serving as the only person in Human Resources. I overhauled benefit plans, implemented an online open enrollment portal, and helped reduce unemployment rates and workers’ compensation experience modifiers.

Earlier, as Payroll/Benefits Administrator at PACE REALTY, I processed payroll and benefits and supported safety initiatives that decreased accident rates by 50%. At GULFEAGLE SUPPLY, INC, I processed payroll for 700 employees and converted business forms to electronic format.
