I’m a Compensation Manager with 7+ years of experience building accurate, efficient compensation processes that employees and leadership can trust. I focus on optimizing workflows, solving complex problems, and maintaining strong partnerships across teams.

At Castle & Cooke Mortgage, I calculate $100k–$4M of commissions for $30M–$150M in residential mortgage loan production monthly and process payouts across multiple compensation structures and timelines. I improved payroll and reporting deadlines by ~30% and manage reporting tied to salaries, payroll taxes, insurance, and 401(k), including 50+ general ledgers, month-end/year-end close, audits, and state tax submissions aligned with GAAP principles.

I maintain compensation agreements and oversee the commission and accounting systems, including implementations and upgrades. I handle Accounts Payable and Accounts Receivable, bank reconciliations, reviewing wires, and printing checks—while keeping commission calculations consistent and accurate for leadership and sales teams.

Earlier, as a Human Resources Generalist and HR Assistant, I processed biweekly payroll across multiple states, administered medical benefits, FMLA, 401(k), onboarding, background checks, and terminations/unemployment claims. I earned “Most Valued Employee” awards and recognition including the President’s Club Award, and I bring that same precision and service mindset to every compensation and operations improvement I lead.
