I coordinate talent acquisition, onboarding, and HR operations in San Diego.

At ICW Group, I coordinate interviews, candidate travel, onboarding, and HR systems support for the Talent Acquisition team. I track candidate and new-hire progress in Excel, process purchasing and reimbursements, and help improve Workday processes and employee experience.

I've supported executive operations for the U.S. Border Patrol, managing calendars, travel, meetings, communications, purchase orders, inventory, and accounting allocations. I also conducted reference checks and contributed to contractor source-selection projects.

My earlier federal experience includes transportation support, invoice auditing, customer service, and HR financial transaction processing for military and Department of Defense personnel. I'm currently studying for the PHR certification.
