What I'm looking for

I am seeking a benefits-focused role where I can manage renewals, ensure compliance, and collaborate cross-functionally to improve accuracy and reduce financial risk.

I am a benefits professional with over five years of hands-on experience supporting multi-client benefit programs within PEO and TPA environments. I focus on renewal implementation, eligibility analysis, compliance oversight, and data reconciliation to ensure accurate benefit operations.

At BBSI and 90 Degree Benefits, I conducted comprehensive pre-renewal eligibility and rate audits across 50+ client accounts, uncovered plan tier and classification discrepancies, and reduced payroll and carrier billing corrections through targeted reconciliations.

I proactively resolve enrollment and eligibility discrepancies, escalate high-risk financial or compliance concerns with documented findings, and partner cross-functionally with underwriting, payroll, consultants, and specialists to resolve complex benefits issues.

My technical strengths include Excel (pivot tables, lookup functions) and multiple benefits administration systems; I support ACA/FMLA/COBRA compliance, 1094-C/1095-C reporting, and annual renewal validation to protect clients and maintain regulatory integrity.
