What I'm looking for

I’m looking for an HR role where I can manage payroll and HRIS data, strengthen employee relations, and deliver clear HR metrics for leaders—while supporting compliance and thoughtful workplace accommodations.

I’m an HR professional with 8 years of experience specializing in payroll management, employee relations, and data analysis. I’m known for maintaining accurate records, generating detailed HR reports to support executive decision-making, and handling conflict resolution with strong organizational and critical thinking skills.

Across my roles, I’ve managed and audited HR system data, prepared HR reports and logs/spreadsheets for record-keeping, and handled leave processes including FMLA with regulatory compliance. I’ve also delivered 100+ turnover and retention reports, supported separation and retirement processes, analyzed timesheets for accuracy, and built prevailing wage analysis documents to streamline employee documentation for 112 employees nationwide.
