I consistently meet deadlines for audits, claims, and payroll processing, and I’m known for fast issue resolution in high-volume environments.
I advance reporting in Excel/Google Sheets using pivot tables and information tracking, and I’ve worked across HRIS/payroll platforms including Workday, ADP, Paylocity, Kronos, Oracle, SAP, and PeopleSoft.
