Dedicated Human Resources professional with expertise in employee relations.
What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated Human Resources professional with over six years of experience in employee relations, organizational development, and HR processes. My journey in HR has equipped me with the skills to influence and coach management effectively, drive employee engagement, and implement strategic HR initiatives that foster positive work environments.
Currently, I serve as an HR Specialist (Payroll Specialist) at the United States Forest Service, where I manage payroll operations for over 1200 employees across multiple states. My role involves ensuring accuracy and compliance with federal regulations while collaborating with management to address employee payroll concerns. I take pride in analyzing payroll data to identify trends and implement process improvements, which have resulted in a significant reduction in payroll discrepancies.
My previous experience as an HR Assistant further solidified my foundation in HR functions, including recruitment, onboarding, and performance management. I am passionate about creating a positive work environment and ensuring compliance with HR policies and regulations. I’m striving for my Master of Business Administration (MBA) from Washington University in St. Louis while holding a Bachelor of Arts in Mass Communications from Claflin University, where I graduated Summa Cum Laude.
