Experienced operations specialist with a focus on benefits management.
What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated operations specialist with extensive experience in benefits management and human resources. Currently, I work at Calm.com, Inc. where I manage consultant relations and collaborate cross-functionally to enhance outreach initiatives. My role involves improving operational efficiency and ensuring effective communication of product value to potential clients.
Previously, I served as a Benefits Specialist at Ferrero USA Inc., where I led strategic initiatives related to benefits and streamlined leave administration processes. My analytical skills have allowed me to identify trends in benefit usage, providing valuable insights for decision-making. I have a proven track record of managing projects independently and collaboratively, ensuring alignment with organizational goals.
With a strong foundation in HR practices from my time at NYC Health+Hospitals and a military background as a Human Resource Specialist, I bring a comprehensive understanding of compliance, vendor management, and employee engagement. I am committed to fostering positive relationships and driving process improvements in every role I undertake.
