What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that allows me to leverage my HR expertise in a collaborative environment, focusing on employee engagement and strategic benefits management.

I am a dedicated HR professional with extensive experience in compensation and benefits management. Currently, I serve as the Compensation & Benefits Manager at Zim Aircraft Cabin Solutions, where I successfully set up payroll and benefits for 300 employees during a critical transition. My role involves processing payroll for multiple companies and ensuring seamless interactions with benefit providers.

Previously, I was the HR Manager at Puraglobe USA, where I streamlined HR processes and implemented new benefit plans that significantly improved employee satisfaction. My experience also includes serving as a Senior HR Business Partner at Advanced Airfoil Components, where I saved the company over $50,000 by auditing benefit programs and correcting billing errors. I thrive in dynamic environments and am passionate about enhancing organizational effectiveness through strategic HR initiatives.
