At the University of Texas at Austin, I led HR operations, payroll, compliance reporting, onboarding, and budget oversight across academic and administrative units. I processed Workday payroll, managed employee separations and leave payouts, and partnered with leadership on policy, governance, and operational strategy.
I've also led statewide HR initiatives at the Health and Human Services Commission, improving 12-month retention by 35% through structured onboarding and employee support. Most recently, at AWS, I lead operational projects that strengthen data collection, process consistency, partner coordination, and scalable standard operating procedures.
