What I'm looking for

I seek a hands-on people-focused role where I can use HRIS analytics to improve engagement, streamline HR operations, and support leaders through change in an inclusive culture.

I am an HR professional with seven years of experience partnering with people managers to improve employee performance, engagement, and team effectiveness across fast-paced organizations. I specialize in employee relations, performance management, coaching support, and end-to-end people-program execution, using HRIS and Workday insights to deliver practical, data-driven solutions.

I have led workforce analyses, standardized HR processes, and implemented protocols that reduced onboarding errors by 40% and improved retention and engagement metrics through targeted training and recognition programs. I am a trusted, hands-on partner who navigates ambiguity, supports change initiatives, and reinforces a respectful, inclusive culture while producing executive-ready deliverables and repeatable operational documentation.
