What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a mission-driven organization where I can own HR and administrative operations, strengthen compliance and records management, and support leadership with confidential, high-touch service in a collaborative public-service environment.

I’m a results-driven administrative and human resources professional with 10+ years of experience supporting municipal government, law enforcement, nonprofit, and child welfare organizations. I specialize in HR administration, employee relations, records management, compliance, payroll, budgeting, recruitment support, and executive-level operations.

In my most recent role, I provide administrative and HR support to department leadership while handling confidential employee information. I coordinate recruitment and onboarding, employee relations, payroll and budgeting, records management, training and travel, and public records requests—while ensuring compliance with records retention requirements.

I bring strong oversight and continuous improvement experience from police records supervision and quality assurance work. I’ve supervised records personnel, ensured compliance with public records and confidentiality standards, prepared DOJ statistical and operational reports, and supported licensing inspections, corrective action plans, policy updates, and background screening compliance.
