I build people operations programs that strengthen employee experience, leadership, and organizational performance.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I'm leading full-cycle recruiting, leadership training, and people-focused organizational programs at Kerkering, Barberio & Co. I partner with firm leaders on workforce planning, employee relations, career paths, job architecture, and teammate experience.
Previously, I led the full HR function at Jimco Maintenance, Inc., overseeing workforce strategy, employee relations investigations, compensation, benefits, payroll, HRIS, compliance, recruiting, and performance management.
At Paycom, I managed 78 client relationships representing more than 12,500 employees and $3.7M in company revenue. I supported integrated HR, payroll, benefits, applicant tracking, timekeeping, reporting, tax, ACA, E-Verify, and personnel-record systems while delivering client and employee training.
Across more than eight years in HR and People Operations, I bring empathy, structure, communication, and operational rigor to practical solutions that improve engagement, leadership effectiveness, retention, and culture.
