What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can own end-to-end payroll and benefits for multiple locations, ensure strict compliance, and improve payroll accuracy and efficiency. I want a team that values strong controls, clear communication, and continuous process enhancements.

I’m a bilingual Spanish payroll & benefits professional with 7+ years managing multi-state payroll, benefits administration, compliance, and employee relations. In my current role as a Payroll & Benefits Administrator for North America, I manage end-to-end payroll processing for U.S.-based employees (1500+), administer medical/dental/vision/life insurance and retirement plans, and ensure accurate, timely payroll delivery.

I’ve also strengthened payroll operations at larger scale—supporting 3,000+ employees across 18 states and Canadian payroll populations. I conduct payroll audits and reconciliations, review garnishments and 401(k) contributions for compliance and reporting accuracy, and partner with HR and Finance to resolve issues while maintaining federal, state, and local requirements. I’ve implemented process improvements that increased payroll efficiency and reduced errors, and I supported the transition from UKG UltiPro to ADP Workforce Now through testing, data validation, and system implementation.
